Jan Goormans Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 hi guys, From the Hobby Boss 1/48 kit, simple and with some fit issues but nothing problematic. Weathering was a discovery journey to get as close as possible to a picture from that Mirage based in Djibouti.As seen on the picture this specific Mirage got a new nose giving a nice contrast to the rest of the weathered airframe. The weathering techniques used come from JM Villalba (you really need his DVDs) and Mario Eens. So hope you like it.Jan.The real Mirage. And the model after my weathering efforts. mustang1989, Big Texan, alain11 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Goormans Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 he Al no real problems if you dryfit everything, the only small problem I had was the underside of the air intakesyou need to fill a gap on both sides (I did )and add some weight in the nose Jan Blackcollar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
