RNZAF Mirage III

Hi all,
A quick and easy whiff of the Academy 1/48 (allegedly) Mirage III into a Kiwi one with Ventura decals.

The RNZAF apparently looked at the Mirage III before going with the Skyhawk, in this timeline we went with the delta instead. Aaages ago I did the Tamiya 1/100 in the late-90s green-green-grey, so I felt the SEA-scheme would be a nice change! I got the kit in a post-Xmas sale - Academy kits are already the cheapest on Kiwi shelves - with the intention of doing a IIIO, but I figured I'll get the new Kinetic kit for that.



Thoughts and critiques welcome!

Next up is a 1/48 prop fighter.....

Nice model! Congratulations! :thumbsup:
(it seems the basis is a IIIC not IIIE, yes?)
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Thanks gents!

Tophe - quite right, the Academy kit says IIIC on the box.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Yup very nice job. Suits the scheme
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

KiwiZac

Thanks all! Dizzy - quite right, that's all that's left to do.
