Hi all

equipped with anti radar missile AS37 and counter measures pods PHIMAT and BARAX.

A terrific rendition of a beautiful aircraft. A great paint finish, weathering and figures. The Mirage III is such a 'looker', not to mention a great aircraft, and has always been one of my favourites ever since watching The Aeronauts (Les Chevalier Du Ciel) on the BBC during the 70s.  This one does appear to be suffering quite a severe hydrualic fluid leak however!

😁 thks Maetbox8. Concerning hydraulic fluid leak, i htink it was more the mecanics working like pigs....just take a look at this real pic below :

Beautiful model, and as others have commented, the weathering on the tanks is very realistic and adds character to the model. The Mirage IIIO and Mirage IV are my favorite French lawn darts- both are elegant and capable designs!

Hi Olivier,

 

outstanding model. Congratulations!

Did the Martel come from the kit? Not a very common missile to find around.

 

Great show.
