Dereknf Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 My latest in a series of Dassault deltas. This is Kinetic's Mirage IIIE. Not the easiest kit I've built. By trying to make as many versions available as possible, the kit's engineering is quite complicated, especially in the fuselage/nose/air intake area. Anyway, with some brute force, lots of glue, some filler and a smattering of profanities, it went together. Finished as a Mirage IIIEE of ALA 11 of the Ejercito del Aire, I used Hataka RAF Ocean Grey and RLM 80 Dark green with Vallejo Aluminium undersides. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Turned out great! Did you use the kit decals? The kit is indeed complicated, but can definitively be build to a great standard as you nicely demonstrate! the Spanish Mirage III or planchetas (iron) were all based at Manises/ Valencia by the way! 🇪🇸 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
