Seriously, that is AMAZING Baz. One of your finest yet.

That'll teach you to research the affinity of your proctologist!  Did he at least buy you dinner?

INCREDIBLE JOB!!!

:wub:  :wub:  :wub:

I just have to write a letter to the Armée de l'AIr, asking them to repaint all our Mirage with this camo NOW!!  B)


You really hand paint all the stuff?? That's incredible!!
What paint did you use forsuch a soft and regular paint job?

Yep, handpainted with Testors Acryl.   There is a Krylon sandable grey primer from a spraycan underneath, though.

I just re-read the posts up there----thanks guys: you're giving me such an ego boost!  Head won't fit through the door tonight!

Eddie, that picture is a keeper!  Much appreciated!  Oh, and, seeing that pic of you knitting, Ms. Hitler just asked if you're single (which I very quickly refuted!).
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

No, no, its Taquin with a Q. French meaning that you like making jokes :) Nothing nasty...  ;)
And I'm very impressed by the paint job...  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

OK folks,

We are 317 members. we need 632 (316 x 2) knitting needles, medium size, advanced users can use different sizes.From now on. only JHM will make models.

I know is sad but ... I just cannot :(

BTW: that model is a winner, that camo is stratospheric, ...
I hope next year I have more words

I really like the disruptive camouflage scheme, most modern jets have boring paint schemes.

Great model! :cheers:
