exdraken Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Shape-wise to be said to be THE best Mirage out there, at least in 48th scale. here in its two seater derivative! Israel had ~4 B models, that also saw action in the 6 day war in 1967 one of them 787 from 119 Bat squadron Heller High Tech concept model (metal landing gear, wheels, Ejection seats, PE for cockpit, ) 1/48 Master pitot AMK external tanks Reskit exhasut nozzle ArmyCast decals definitely not the easiest kit, brittle plastic, regular fit, raised panel lines but GREAT shape! and shiny, with Alclad II airframe aluminum WIP in the recently finished HELLER group build with a good set of neighbors and favorable company: thanks everybody for having a look, leaving a comment, a like or dislike, or criticism! cheers, Werner 39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan P Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 That is a beautiful finish! So hard to make Alclad look that good, but you nailed it. One fancy Mirage, what a great job. Well done 👏 👏 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alclad II airframe aluminum over a shiny black base coat. No protective gloss coat applied , but on the tanks, so those lost most of their shine. The 2 main fuselage frames are supposed to be steel, and the top of the mid wings is Alclad II with some but iron mix... Cheers! 19 hours ago, Alan P said: That is a beautiful finish! So hard to make Alclad look that good, but you nailed it. I tried earlier and failed. A eeallyshiny black base and low pressure on the airbrush did the trick this time! Thanks everybody!! 🍻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently "into" French aircraft & Mirages in particular having recently finished the Heller IVP & currently working on the Eduard III Great you like it! The IV is a bit intimidating model wise! The Eduard kit looks rather good, I did not build one yet though, only used the very "simìlar" HobbyBoss version to hack it up in order to do a Swiss Recce RS once... I do have some in the stash though and plan on an Argentnian CJ that were bought as stop-gap from Israel to replace some of the Harrier victims...
