What if the Israeli's got their ground pounding Mirage rather than the French blocking their export?

This is hopefully a simple and quick build out of a Heller Mirage III E/R/5/BA kit and some decals from a Hasegawa Kfir C2 and from elsewhere too.

I was needing something quick and easy to keep my mojo going so that I don't stall on my other builds and this one is a quick and simple build.

So far the three parts of the wings are together and I have also glued the fuselage together with both the exhaust and cockpit in place.

Hopefully this will go nice and quickly  :-\

I know the feeling. I quite often fall back on some old Hasegawa WWII kits or Tamiya that are in the stash if I want a "mojo restorative"  :thumbsup: Although some of the new tool Airfix stuff is good for that as well. Some are a little bit complicated to use as relaxing builds though.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

A Hobby Boss kit as a quickie is also a nice fix.  ;)

I would go along with that if I had any or a local shop that sold them.

A little progress,



As you can see, basic assembly has taken place. Next up is PSR and adding the intakes which will have blanking plates as that is what the exhaust looks to have shoved inside it so adding a couple of handles and painting it Red may work.
