My last work for 2020/ My goal was to do a Heller nose transplant on the Hobbyboss fuselage. Finally no real problem, everything fits easily. Here are the pics :

That's truly awesome. I like that you included what I presume to be the gun mechanism in what would normally be the rear cockpit area. I'd read the Mirage IIIB can carry and use it's cannons, but at the expense of the rear ejection seat. And it's rare to see someone model one with the cannons installed. The kitbash and overall configuration are great!

hi SAT 69. It's exactly what i wanted to show. In fact the rear place is full of radio equipment when guns are mounted. thanks for your comments.
