Mirage V

Well it is not whatif but it is done from ESCI 1/48 Kfir C2. It was so inacurate... I decided to revert into the original design.

After using every microscale solutions and products ... bloody decals

Anyway I like it (because of the effort too)

Finally a whiffer who posts alot of models here frequently! (not to forget eddie, archie and anthonyp)

Over my shouder, my wife saw your cockpit and concluded: "no this is not a model, this is real". Take it as a congratulation!... or as an insult as Reality is rather bad for a what-ifer...

Thanks to you and your wife.

Merci beaucoup

Looks sleek.

About the decals, are you trying to apply them over a flat/matte painted surface?
If so, they will nearly always fog over as the matte finish is a rough enough one to trap a film of tiny air bubbles.

A good glosscoat (the unpigmented "Clear" of the paint line you're using or Johnson's "Future" "Klear") works wonders.

You are right. It was satin coated, I thought it was enough. My fault :dum:  :dum:

Very nice -and brave-!!!. You reversed history!!! Whatif France failed the Mirage 2000, had to buy Kfir C2 instead, reverse it and obtain something similar to the... Mirage V ?
