Camo is supposed to be two-shades of grey but Tamiya's darker grey seems a tad too green after varnishing.

I handpainted yellow stripes on ejection seat handles. They are far wider and fewer than on the real thing but other than that, I am pretty pleased with the result. For a moment I planned to scratch build seatbelts too but decided eventually not to.

After Mirage III, I decided to build a derivate of it in form of IA Kfir. This is earlier AMK kit with some shortcomings but overall, I was quite pleased with the build quality. Especially decals were of high quality and easy to handle.

I managed to keep all protruding air scoops intact but broke pitot tube no fewer than three (!) times before completing the kit.
