Italeri 1/32 scale Mirage IIIC with SAC gears and Master Pitot


Recommended Posts

in this kit shapes are good but fitting of most part is poor. It looks like a scaled up tool from the Kinetic 1/48 scale one with some modifications made for the C variant quite evident on the fuselage surface. Aden 30mm guns and their guards were scratchbuilt with brass tube sections

Decals in the kit come with a too dark blue shade for the French roundel so I masked mine and repainted with faded blue, musquettaire on the tail was also repainted freehand with Vallejo Acrylics. Some part in the kit are for the III E version only so watch your references instead of instructions: change the IP and leave off the landing lights from the front gear leg. Magic missiles come with weird front wings so I removed them and made captive missiles instead. Camouflage is for a Djibuti based Mirage with very faded colours due to heat and salty air.
