1/72 Dassault Mirage 50DCM Pantera


Recommended Posts

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.

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?😂

Normally these HPM kits go together fairly well but the resin extras with this one were quite poor fitting and the canopy really did not want to fit, wont stop doing another though.

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?

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!

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.

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! Oops😂
