Hi Arif 🙂 HNY! Thanks for the like. Very kind. 👍 Kit is currently 'cooking' next to boiler, as the basis/pre-shade for my metallic painting style is having a hard time curing in my cold garage! 😅

Hi Pierre 🙂 Thanks for your comment and interest. I used mainly Vallejo paints for this build. The NMF image (14) shows early passes at creating some colour depth within the metallic. I used the same technique on both my Mig-21 and F-5 builds, both on here also. Have uploaded some further NMF imagery and early shading passes today 👍

that is a siper intersting effect. I think I am going to go for a serie of Mig 15 and 19 build this year to improve my metallic, can you please let me know what primer and metallic paint did you use ? look amazing

Hi Pierre - thanks! The build you're looking at here is still in very early stages, so it's a bit garish and heavy on shading. Better examples from me can be found here:
Revell | H-237 | 1:48 | MiG-21PF Fishbed | Album by djferrisbueller (1:48)
Italeri | 802 | 1:48 | Northrop F-5A | Album by djferrisbueller (1:48)
The builders on here achieve a neater, more measured and more realistic NMF finish than I do. This is only metallic build number 3 for me and I too am learning how to paint with Vallejo metal color... I would say that is an art itself! It's a thinner liquid and you need to adjust your PSI differently in my limited experience.
I'll add some further notes within the imagery of this album detailing as you request. No problem 👍 🙂

Hi David, that's such a kind thing for you to say - I'm chuffed. Cheers mate 🙂 We're still in the early stages of this one, so of course there's lots I could stuff up! However, let's hope I do your comment justice 👍

Hi, I wish to start with a cheeky disclaimer: This kit is not my best work!
I started this build over four years ago. then left it alone for approximately three years. In the interim, I built many other kits, and lost some smaller pieces for this one too, or they were never in the box to begin with. Oh dear!
The reason I left it alone in solitude on a shelf... It was very hard work as the fit was terrible (and I'm used to building some poor fitting stuff). I think the kit had been warped from being stored in someone's garage or loft - as it was another cheap car boot find. In the end I used it as an opportunity to practice my metallic finish, weathering ability, work with and subsequently apply very old decals. I thought I'd go for the South African version, rather than build the Israeli version. I totally acknowledge it's not great. I will build a better Mirage III in the future. But at least it's finished, and I can now close off this album. Better builds to view are on my profile and more to follow very soon 👍 🙂
