Work progress at slow pace (too much ideas an models in paralel!!)
It just miss its undercarriage... pictures tomorrow or monday  
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.

Undercarriage fixed :) (F-15 wheels instead of the monstruous MiG wheels).
I fitted the undercarriage at the place were the airbrakes of the Mirage IV stand.
The Mirage mach 3 (I have to find him a better name!) has strange airbrakes on the side of the fuselage, and a third airbrake under the belly.

Mirage Super Delta sounds good no ?

It is painted (dark blue, air superiority).

Well looking at it i realise how I slaughtered the MiG-25...

In fact I have really  shrinked the MiG up to the size of the M53 engines!
The nose was way too long so all the section between the cockpit and nosecone has disapeared.
The wheels were also too big... worst, the fuselage and intakes were also much too large for the M53 exhausts!
I narrowed the fuselage by cutting plastic each side of the dorsal spine... and the air intakes had to follow, they are 50 % less large now.

I managed to obtain the CF-105-like canopy simply by painting the Mirage IV canopy.

Honestly I think that the MiG-25 was too big for the task... maybe I should have used a MiG-25... a 1/100 scale or a F-15 at 1/72 (but this one has a bubble canopy, which mean no dorsal spine...)
If I remember well, Hobbycraft CF-105 has a separate dorsal spine (a long, narrow piece of plastic). Add to that the similar canopy... hmmm maybe a CF-105/ F-15 combo (but you still need Mirage IV wings)


But the result looks not to bad.
