adrianm2 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Morning Lads and Gals: I`ve finally finished something... Mirage Pantera, 1/72 from High Planes Models, painted with Akan and Vallejo. RBF eduard, Griffing bombs AMK, Python 3 Trumpeter, ladder and chocks L`arsenal. The High Plane Models Mirage IIIE family is extraordinary... there is so much Mirage in each box that the hardest part is to choose what to build. I have build both Panteras, single and two seater and they are both superb. High quality and accurate resins, quality decals, PE set, withe metal bits... and the best thing is that you find all the bits for the other variants in each box, so many options... I`ll leave you few pictures here, I hope you like it Regards Adrian 55 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Delta 210 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Awesome build. Hard to believe that it's 1/72. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilks Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Very nice indeed... Fabulous result. I'm a big fan of the High Planes Models Mirage kit. Great to see so many different finished versions appearing. Well done! AGW.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphin38 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Great looking Pantera, big fan of the HPM/PJ Mirages myself so many versions, not enough decal sheets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Superb!!! The aesthetic of a Mirage is hard to beat, and the Pantera is in a class of its own. So all the right boxes are ticked. And the build is flawless. Congrats!!! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianm2 Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Thank you Chaps for all your kind words. I agree, there are no enough decals to cover all the Mirage III/5/50 variants. Regards Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme H Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 A truly awesome job on that, I just acquired the 2 seater recently, and hope to be starting soon, do you have any photos of yours anywhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I saw two Panteras while I was visiting Santiago de Chile´s Museo del Aire y del Espacio, one has canards and the other one is the regular looking Mirage. Your kit looks splendid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Graeme: I got the two seater at about 95%. Hoping to get some pictures in here in the next couple of weeks. Look forward to see your builds in here as well.

Horatio Gruntfuttock Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 That looks just superb. Great result from a mass of parts that don't always fit together like a tamigawa kit. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Awesome work Adrian, Are you Chilean? or with relatives in Chile? Great selection of weapons and really nice camo, my only point is the number on tail, it´s a little more in the center of fuselage (vertical ref). You can fix on the Two Seater Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they look great, and I ask this because I want to add them to an Argentine Mirage IIIEA and honestly i never saw them in that place.

I got the idea of the rbf tags from a 1/72 Brazilian Mirage III. I’ll have a look to see if the tag on the fuel tank is in the right place. I’ll PM you if I can find some pictures.
