1/48 Mirage IIIE (Kinetic)

Post by josepedro »

Hello!


Here are the photos of one of the latest model i´ve built.

It is the Kinetic 1/48 Mirage IIIE kit, and despite some shortcomings the "bang for the buck" on this kit is very good.


This was also my first serious job with Alclad2 lacquers, and i know i still have a learning curve in front of me.


This model was featured on the November 2016 issue of the Airfix Model World magazine.

Here are the build and final photos!

The complete photostory of this build is present on my blog:

Hope you like it!

Great work. Everything is spot on. Incidentally the very first jet model I ever built when I was a kid was a Mirage. I slaughtered it though. Love the weathering, love the seat. Awesomeness!!
