1/48 Mirage IIIE (Kinetic)


Recommended Posts

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:

Hope you like it!

That's really gorgeous! Fantastic bang seat too: I always try and make my own rather than relying on aftermarket stuff these days, but I build mine up and paint all the elements seperately before assembly: I think I'll try your way - it looks fantastic.

Good job sir :-)

Ooh, that's very nice, don't recall ever seeing that variation of the Escarde markings either so that's a bonus too!

 

Thank you for sharing.

Jose,

 

Your Mirage IIIE is the best nmf IIIE I have seen.  Stunning work.  I hope you add a grey/green camouflage version to sit beside it.

 

cheers,

Zhizhou

I am in love with your build - the only thing that could make it better are Swiss Air force markings on it 😏. The Mirage III is the best looking fighter jet ever and you did it justice.

 

Where can your blog be found?

 

Cheers,

Michael
