Mirage IIIC

Sprue shot. 

Fitment test and assembly, cockpit to be completed first. 

Fitment and gap issues are prevalent. I believe that mine has defects in form of fuselage warping. There is actually a high need of sanding some parts to actually fit and putty on several joints. one of the biggest issues are the fuselage joint nearing the cockpit. 

Priming up the underside with black primer for alclad later. 

primed and presading the surface parts. 

Trying out some diff tones.

In the end, I used both Airframe Aluminium and Polished Aluminium for underside painting. There are also zinc chromates for some. 

Painting up the surface with C337 gray-ish blue. Primed it later. 

Decal setting, Goes quite well despite some defects on decal (both from my mistakes or from kit).
