★ Starfish ★ AuthorAnother update on the Mirage. Despite my initial plan to make this a quick and simple project, I used PE parts for the cockpit and created rivets all over the model with improvised tools (saw blade). Then I had to fill some gaps along the wing roots and air intakes. The panels on the nose were also filled for the simple reason that they don't exist on the real counterpart. Final reveal coming soon!

★ Starfish ★ AuthorLast update on the Mirage - I'll probably upload a detailed video about the building and painting process tomorrow. As you can see, it wasn't easy to get a somewhat realistic colour tone and I had to mix quite a few paints until I was satisfied with the outcome. A lot of weathering was done using enamel weathering products and oils.

★ Starfish ★ AuthorThank you guys! Yes, I also avoid spraying Revell paints but unfortunately in this case they were my only option :/

★ Starfish ★ AuthorFinished another project! Overall this was quite an enjoyable build, even though a few gaps had to be filled and it wasn't easy to mix the blue camo of the Mirage. As usual, all details can be found in my video! Youtube Video

★ Starfish ★ AuthorThanks Lukasz. It was quite tricky for me to come anywhere close to the real colours 🙈
