ScheF15 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Good day to all, After reading a new album of my favourite comic series 'Tanguy et Laverdure' last year... ... I let it slip that I once wanted to build a model kit of a Mirage III. I hadn't built a scale model for over 25 years, but I thought a modest 1:72 kit wouldn't hurt and I do like the bare metal Mirage IIIs. However, my wife remembered my rash statement and next Christmas she gave me this enormous 1:32 Revell kit! So, now I was more or less obliged to take up my modelling skills again but I did, and I really enjoy it. Before I sink my teeth in this kit, I practise first on a few 1:72 kits I still had lying somewhere, gathering dust. I will be back for some tips and tricks, because I learned things have developed in the modelling world!

mackem01 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Good to have you here, you'll find loads of tips and advice. Looking forward to your posts and the big Mirage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well you seemed to have found the right inspiration and the choice of subject is faultless! Welcome! As you seem to have an interest in things French, you might want to consider joining in with the French Fancy 2 Group Build later in the year - it's open to all things French regardless of your modelling ability, it's about having a bit of fun around a common theme.

I have two RAF Phantoms, a RAF Buccaneer, a Viggen plus this Mirage III lying waiting first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
