dolphin38 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 My latest completion is the 1/72 High Planes Models Dassault Mirage 50DCM Pantera, this fought me all the way and is probably best viewed from about 6 feet away, I just wanted to get it finished in the end, decals from the kit and finished with MRP Paints.

drake122 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Looks very nice, I would to build this one myself, but can't get the kit locally.😔 I'm curious though, what was the complications during the build, beyond the obvious of it being a High Planes Kit?😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiseca Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Looks good to me! What was the problem with the MRP paints? I asked a question recently about ready-for-airbrush paints and they were recommended more than once so I'm going to give them a try, so interested to hear your experience? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I know what you mean about a model fighting you all the way and just wanting to get it finished. Your model is, nevertheless, quite impressive. Nice work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no problems with the MRP Paints in fact I would recommend them wholeheartedly, lovely smooth finish and I didn't need to thin them at all.

Gremlin Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 nice work, The Pantera is difficult to achieve perfectly, it is a complex aircraft with many extras from the original Mirage 50. cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, I misread your post, sorry! I read it as you were finished with MRP paints, what you meant was you finished the model with them!
