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.

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?
