Cookenbacher Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hi everybody, this is my first aircraft completion of 2023 - A 1/72 Modelsvit Mirage IIIO built in the Marcel Bloch/Dassault Aviation Group Build. The build thread is here: The finish is Model Master Metalizer brushed/polished on - the details of the technique are in the build thread. As usual, it's difficult to capture how a metal finish looks in photos, so I tried to take these RFI photos in many varying lighting setups. I really enjoyed the Modelsvit kit and have their Mirage 2000-5 and Mirage 4000 in the stash, so I think I may just keep building them! 66 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 That is beautifully done Cookie, I really like the effect you've got with the metallizers. 👍 I have a few but mainly 'xorst & jet pipe type colours & alas, no chance of getting others.
