This thread has been moved from the Aircraft WiP forum because, well, I hadn't got very far with it! Many thanks to @Enzo the Magnificent for moving it! I've just received the new Special Hobby 1/72nd scale kit of the Mirage IIICJ, what a delightful little kit it is too! The surface detail is very fine, SH have really upped their game with this one. I've waited for this kit for a long time, I know the Modelsvit kit is out there but I find the divots used to represent rivets a distraction, rivets never leave a hole like that and the Mirage III is mostly flush rivetted. The kit comes with plenty of armament options that would cover most users IIIC's and I have plenty of decals to cover Armée de l'Air aircraft so my subject will be an Adl'A jet. This will be a very slow build, I've already committed myself to the Meteor STGB and I'll be building this kit in parallel. The biggest decision I've got to make with this kit is whether to go for an NMF jet or one in the Blue scheme. Pictures to follow.

Okey-dokey...here it is. This was the first build I have documented and although it is fun and very instructive/inspiring to watch the build-up of others, I found my experience to be tedious. From now on I will only present for inspection... Curtiss Hawk III, over Siam. I have not added the bombs. I may later. I enjoyed this little model as I enjoy all of Special Hobby's kits. It went together fairly easily, with a bit of challenge here or there--mainly the struts. The decals were lovely and thin and slid off flawlessly. What next you may ask...? I'll have think on it. --John- 11 replies

I have never contributed a work in progress thread, so this will be my first. Special Hobby's Hawk III, 1/72nd scale and I think I'll head towards the Siam craft...more to come!
