Fanakit Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Hello I've just finished this model. A lot of works on this old Heller kit.

Albert Moore Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Not only is the model well built and finished (in the one, true scale), but the photography is absolutely top notch as well. Excellent job all around! :worship: Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

johnsan Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Lovely Mirage. It seems a long time since I've seen a built Heller Mirage III. I can't remember seeing one as nice. Carpena Decals? I wonder whether Colorado reissued this sheet. Those are such interesting markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewS Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Very nice result, Ivan. Thanks for posting the pics and reminding me that I really need to get cracking on my Mirage collection. I'd love to think mine might turn out half as well as yours. cheers, Andrew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattC Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Lovely job, I'm watching out for one of these to come up on ebay, whats the build like? Ive done a few Heller kits and found varying amounts of pain in the build, that joint from fuselage to upper wing surface looks like a potential issue, not that you'd know from your super build, but I've got more thumbs than fingers these days!

Giovanni Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 This mirage is cool, and realistic. At a first glance somebody should thing that's the real thing. The only thing that doesn't totally convince me is the front part of the fuel tanks. The effects seems to me to be excessive. But I don't know if you have taken inspiration from a real picture for istance. Giovanni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
