RidgeRunner Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Excellent build. The twin-seat Mirage 3s are my favourite..... Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
replicant Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I love it!!!! Excellent build and well worn! Kinetic got the windscreen a bit too big and the nose too small in dia, i think, (as with my Hobby Boss Rafales and....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 There have been a few lovely Mirage builds on here in the last few days and this is another stunning example, a very attractive looking aircraft and model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Great one as usual!! Ithink, you'd need to cut down the rear ends of the fuel tanks' fins, those on the Kinetic kit are of M2000 style..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I could have looked at the first and last photos for a long time and not realised it was a model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildeSau75 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just wow - cannot get much better than this. Top model of one of the best looking fighter jets ever. The only thing that could make it look better would be a C version on Swiss markings ;-) Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Wonderful model and the camo job is first class! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalako Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I've been dreaming of building the IIIBE ever since I saw it as a kit (1/72) in Matchbox's 1988 catalogue!!! Now, that Kinetic has produced such a wonderful kit, the urge has returned!!! Now, what can I say about Mathy's build, other than it's a contest WINNER!!! Job well done lad!

mathy Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks all. Mentioned to say, that Kinetic produced about 40 new pices for this kit. All in A+ high quality similar to their F/A-18 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Uncool Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Impressive job, Mathy! Of all of the Kinetic Mirage kits in my possession, I noticed that there's an option for a bigger nose landing gear wheel, but dunno when (or which aircraft) to use them. Or at least, I haven't ever seen 'em present on any Mirage in Argie service. Is the bigger wheel the one you've used on this build? The camo work looks spot-on.

Would you mind elaborating on where you get from that the nose is too small as well? Cheers, Unc2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Its evident, to much canopy, too thin fuselage at the windscreen, the fairings at the bottom are quite parallel to reference line/ground, you can see it and you can measure it, the fuselage is nearly 2,3 times the back end of the shield.
