Dassault Mirage IIIB

France, ECT 2/2 Cote d'Or, 1974, BA 102 Dijon

Modelsvit, 1/72

Montage VG33

Here is at least my first kit of the year with this 1/72 Modelsvit Dassault Mirage III B. I chose to build her as a/c No 203 #2-FG, a natural metal two seat trainer from ECT02/002 in 1974.

This kit is easy to build with very nice and fine parts. The only trouble went when I tried to insert the well detailed injected cockpit inside the fuselage. Actually I had to sand on the sides of the cockpit and even the position of the closed canopy is not perfect. So it would be better to make her with this canopy open.

The paint came from Duralumin and Steel Alclad range. Every part came from the box. I think I will build some more in camouflage paint later. The natural metal finish is nice but demanding as I had to paint some parts 5 times especially around the cockpit to get something satisfactory. Alclad paint is very smooth thus the little scratches can be seen but multiple layers blend easily.
