dolphin38 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I have recently completed this a 1/72nd Dassault Mirage IIIS, J2302 this aircraft was used for trials by the Swiss Air Force and at some point was fitted with a Photo Recon nose. The base kit was the new tool PJ Production Mirage V which is a vast improvement on the older kit and I used the PJ Production Mirage IIIS for the conversion. The decals are from Matterhorn for the Mirage IIIS and RS, initial impressions of the decals was good well printed and in register even the very small ones, but when introduced to water a lot of them just broke a part on the backing paper they are also nearly impervious to my preferred Microsol and Microset setting solutions to the point I ended up buying two sheets to finish the decalling. In the end I was just glad to finish it.

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 That's very nice and a change from the operational markings normally seen is always welcome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain goat Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Great looking Mirage! Those interesting markings and the non-standard RS nose really set this model apart. Great to see the new PJ kit built, the panel lines look good. Jay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convair Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 A very nice Mirage. The black and white triangles inside the circle, on the fuselage, resemble photo-calibration markings. The silver painting is great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
