some updates, my photos with the phone are not really world class......

 

hope to provide something better soon!

 

the hud is barely visible here, but quite nice in real life!

canopy masked, not glued yet, so painting will start soon!

probably going to use the big 1700l tanks as well

they are form the Kinetic offering and can also be found ins some of their MIII kits . te rear fins are only correct for the M2000 though!

on the very left for Matra 250 kg bombs from l'ArseI'd like to use on this build. the Mk-82 are for the slowly progressing F-111 build ;)

the dark brown is a special case... shade and colour effect depending strongly on the light... sometimes more red, then straight/flat brown

 

 

who knows!

nose and tyres painted, small but important progress ;)

and i noted that i did not have any decent Magic IIs prepared yet.....

eduard released some very nice resin ones recenty but I only bought the Magic I for the Mirage IIIs....

 

so I went to the stash and broke open a Revell Rafale kit, probably the best injection molded Magics out there

Very nice indeed and well done with the camo scheme. That is an awful lots of bombs to put on.

oh, only 4 for this Mirage! they are not really bomb trucks, aren't they?

I really like those SAMP 250 bombs from l'Arsenal

Magic II with shamelessly robbed decals and instructions form the Eduard Magic Is.... :devil:

and decal work:

the FCM decals are fine and printed fantastically, quite hard to apply tho!

I did not manage to succesfully put on the thin long walk ways, should have cut them before to small pieces I guess......

 

luckily the Italeri ones proved to be more easily to use and also do not look bad at all imho!
