Nikola Topalov Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Hi Exdraken, Very nice model! Good work! I like the subject as well. One of my favourites. From my very limited experience, one tip when photographing indoors without natural light, try to use additional sources of light besides the flash in order to soften the shadows and illuminate the subject better. I am also working on that skill.. . Best, Nikola 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Nikola thanks Nikola, your remarks regarding photography are definitely true.... sometimes time constraints (a nearing GB end in this case ) make the situation even worse will try to improve!

Meatbox8 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 A terrific looking Mirage and a great paint finish. Good to see one on Aussie markings - a 'must have' for me at some pint in the future. For me the Mirage III is definitely the most handsome fighter jet of its age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Kinetic kit is not famous for a simple build, but actually it is very good and detailed! The decals are also awesome! But the Aussi, or Ossi as the French would say ones are "only " for a colirful PCI scheme ! So I really recommend one or both Caracal sets!! Thanks everybody!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
