Finally over the finish line, nearly asked myself why did I decide to do this conversion with out a little practice first. But it turned out OK: And with a few friends: Model on, boys -
Hello All. Coming back here with my latest build. Kit was gifted to me by a good friend of mine. Built OOB. It was a straight forward build except certain areas like the wing gloves which needed lots of puttying . Getting the right desert pink was a challenge but I think I got it close enough.. Paint chipping was achieved by sponge technique. Decals were from the kit and it was in an ok shape for a 30 year old kit. Weapons and ECM load out1X BOZ-EC chaff and flare dispenser 1X Skyshadow-ECM pod 2X Sidewinder missles 4X 1000lb bombs Fuel Tanks Hope you guys like it. Now some pictures.

Late again! it's about time I started this. No box top picture I'm afraid because I discarded the flimsy box when I left the UK The Italeri is a re-boxing of the old Esci kit which represented the prototype so whilst accurate in shape will need some alterations to represent a production aircraft. I am also going to use the Eduard resin jet pipe, designed for the Heller kit but still should fit well, and the excellent R-flight resin and etched cockpit set. Also from Rennaisance will be the elevon set which includes the Spirale chaff/flare dispensers and other small details. The eagle eyed amongst you will have probably noticed that I have already attached the splitter plate and shock cone to the starboard fuselage, I have done this with all my Mirage kits as I find that you can adjust the outer part of the intake to give a better fit rather than fitting the whole intake to the fuselage. More to come soon, I hope. Cheers John
