1/48 Mirage IIIE (Kinetic) Ready for inspection

[jose pedro]

Hello!


Here are the photos of one of the latest model i´ve built.

It is the Kinetic 1/48 Mirage IIIE kit, and despite some shortcomings the "bang for the buck" on this kit is very good.


This was also my first serious job with Alclad2 lacquers, and i know i still have a learning curve in front of me.


This model was featured on the November 2016 issue of the Airfix Model World magazine.

Here are the build and final photos!

The complete photostory of this build is present on my blog:

Beautifully done JP, especially for your first-time out with Alclad lacquers. Mirage's are my all-time favourite 'family' of warplanes.

Wooooo....shiny, yet not. Really nice weathering Jose, like how you did the alternate colors on the panels.

Wow Pedro , a real beauty . Very believable metal finish and great detail .

We use to get a lot of mirage III's and V in Europe although I am hard pressed at figuring the differences between them. I have never seen one in BNF . Very nice indeed

Cheers, Christian B)
