Just finished this one. Pretty good kit. Minor issues with the cockpit but otherwise a winner.

What, no love for the Mirage? Somebody has to like this plane besides me.

I like the Mirage very much, but yours look stunning. Really nice and subtled weathered. To me you did a perfect job.

Thank you Robert. I find a lot of people over do their weathering. I try to put just enough in to make the piece stand out and still look like the photos of the original plane.

Nice colour and weathering. I just would re-align the air refuelling probe, it points a bit too far down. Did you use the colours supplied with the kit?

Lol - you are right Alex, no one could refuel with that! I didn't see that problem. The refuelling probe broke off at least five times, so it doesn't surprise me the alignment is way off. It is framed up, so I will have to fix it when I do repairing in the winter.

I didn't use the colours in the kit because in my opinion they weren't quite right. In addition I don't like using true acrylics because they don't sand well. Vallego paints are too rubbery and can't be worked with well as and after they dry. I prefer lacquer thinnable paints such as Tamiya and Mr Color.

Hey! I built this very same one, used brush and enamels...remember it as a great kit-fit. You've taken it on really well!!, super specimen!

Thank you Andy. This kit was a joy to build, with the exception of the refuelling probe breaking off at least five times, but that was my fault because I was being impatient and put it on too early. Yes, the kit fits well together. Nothing too dramatic; most of the seams can be filled with CA glue.

Pics are bit dark, but from what I can figure out it looks grand 👍

I hope to make some better pictures in the winter when I open it up again to do the repairs. These were just quick snapshots.
