rymulus Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Mirage III BZ "Flying Cheetahs" of South African Air Force. Model straight out of the box, folds very well. Main landing gear requires attention. It is best to glue them with CA glue, otherwise the connection is very delicate and easy to break off, which I found out by simply placing the model on the desk. Now, after snapping off, one shin is slightly bent. I only made ladders on my own. I was modeled on these photos. 55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Lovely looking Mirage. The slightly used and scuffed areas around the panels and intakes really give it an authentic look. Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabat Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 That is very impressive, just the Springboks in the castles should be jumping forwards on the intakes, but superb, superb modelling skills, captured the look and the feel of the BZ so well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Very impressive. I love how you captured the lighter colored paint around some of the panels. I guess that's touchup on the real plane? I always love seeing a Mirage, and this is another that's going to inspire me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 This is top-notch work! When you build your next one, perhaps the Springboks will jump forward! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I noticed my mistake after I put a clearcoat on the model. Thank you all for the good opinions about the model, maybe someday I'll do some Mirage but rather the F1 version.
