lewis25049 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Fresh off the bench is the High Planes Models 1/72 Dassault Mirage IIID. This model is part of a twin pack, with options to build a single and dual seater for RAAF 2OCU and ARDU aircraft. This particular build is a 2OCU aircraft, which is a pilot training squadron. The single seater will eventually be built in an ARDU 'Fanta Can' scheme. This kit was a lot of fun to put together. I found the instructions to be a bit vague in areas, but a bit of research and plenty of dry-fitting and it mostly fell together. This is apparently the 'revised tooling' which has much more refined panel lining than previous moulds. The decals were decent and easy to place, but the large 2OCU tail flash didn't seem to react much to Microset/sol. Thanks for looking, cc always welcome. 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 You've captured to look nicely Lewis. 🏆 I was at 2OCU and worked on 105 on my first posting out of technical training. Ahhh... memories! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in a shed Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Well there's a thing! I didnt realise the top surfaces of the wings were devoid of roundles. Lovely looking Mirage Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
