Kampartiger Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 An absolute Beauty.Fortunate to have seen it many a times at Butterworth but have never seen a patchy example,well maybe that was because the Mirages were at least a hundred feet away from the fence.

redcap Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 That's a great Mirage and the camo work is excellent. A bit confused about the 'weathered' bombs though as they are kept indoors under strict lock & control and only ever used once; so why so heavily chipped, faded and weathered? If based on actual photos I stand corrected entirely. That observation aside, you have done a lovely job on this. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadim Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Lovely model. I like the bombs. You perfectly picked up the finish and weathering. Also can't see on the pictures, but it gives the feeling of the right texture as well. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Lovely stuff! There's just something about the Mirage III in RAAF colours, and you've nailed it in my opinion! I've never come across bombs mounted sideways on fuel tanks before - is this common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
