alain11 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Hi everybody first , few words to introduce the kit , even if we all know its high qualities .Almost every things must be recreated , and each step is a challenge .The whole engraving must be done on the wings , fuselage , you have to fill gaps , sometime huge , create air scoops on the fuselage etc ...... Details? what details ? there is none !!!! . but nothing is lost , you have a lot of after market items to improve the weakness of the bird . The cockpit from Fisher models ( not their best work , a little disappointed ), engine exhaust from Matterhorn circle ( very nice ) , and the "cheery on the cake " ( french way to say the best ) , E resin that will give you from nose to tail nice improvements , specially on the wheel bays , indispensable here . Oh what about the landing gears , I choose to replace them SAC items , and I say it's a rip -off , I threw away the nose gear , and only kept the lower part of the main gear .Why a O mirage ? ( I am french it's weird ) because I like exotic camouflage . If you are interested , or curious , by my step by step , take a look here ( 6 pages , some pictures and a bit of talk ) http://fighters.forumactif.com/t58035-mirage-iii-o-1-32#1058203 Now enough talking , some pictures . Enjoy ...................or not ( I hope that my prose was understood bye Alain Edited November 6, 2013 by alain11 sandokan and red baron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
