Marcel111 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Thought I'd post some pics of this build over here. It is in the gallery section, but those pics are tiny. This is the ancient Revell kit, modified extensively. Most of the mods are scratch built (including the entire cockpit and camera bay with cameras), but a very noteworthy aftermarket addition is the MC-One Exhaust set. It's still one of my favorite builds (despite many errors), since I'm guessing it's the only 1/32 Mirage III R2Z out there with all the required mods, such as swept intake splitter plates, that are unique to this type. Incidentally, the R2Z is basically a Mirage IIIR with a more powerful Mirage F1 engine. more to follow... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tobiK Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Well, indeed, I really like your Mirage! looks superb, and building this kit is real modelling, not just glueing together some plastik parts! ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Moore Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Cool, a SAAF model! Sharp looking Mirage, Marcel. Where did you source the decals from? Cheers, Alby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Krukowski Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I had that Revell kit once upon a time. Nice to see it done up so well. Really some nice work. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big Kev Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Awesome work Marcel, and a highly original and (probably) unique build of this model. I've got one in the stash too, though mine will be an RAAF bird using the Fisher cockpit set. Yours is one of the nicest builds of that old Revell kit I've seen.
