Eduard 1:48 scale Mirage IIIC

Clifford Keesler
My next project, and only my second Eduard kit.

John
I have a different version of the same kit; looking forward to your build.

Clifford Keesler
Good progress on this one today. Cockpit in, fuselage closed up and wings on. Now starts filling and sanding. Lol.

Clifford Keesler
Hope to get some paint on this tomorrow.

Clifford Keesler
Quick update, belly painted and sand color painted on most of the top fuselage. Started the resin cockpit for my Mirage F-1 while waiting for paint to dry.

Clifford Keesler
Upper surface and fuselage decals done, tomorrow will do the belly and take some more pictures.

Augie
Wow thats looking good, hows the fit (I have 2)

Clifford Keesler
@ Augie, actually it wasn't as bad as some of the Kitty Hawk models I have done. It has no locating pins on the fuselage halves, so you have to be real careful that they don't slip on you while gluing. I made some tabs with card stock. helped.

Augie
Thanks Clifford 🙂

Clifford Keesler
Thank you very much Roland. This one there wasn't a whole lot to, it went together pretty fast. @ Augie, you are most welcome.

Clifford Keesler
Wash applied and removed. I did the panel line wash with AK panel lie wash, hope to do final weathering tomorrow.

Clifford Keesler

Augie
