Nice!  :thumbsup:

F.1 with Sparrows.... interesting!  :mellow:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

....and 'winders too.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Wow, more tiny stuff  that looks like it isn't.  You  have  much better eyes and  hand  control than I have  Nils. :thumbsup:

Looking very good Nils. This build has inspired me to take a look at the Mirage.  I obviously need to do some homework.  I thought they were delta-wing planes very similar to the Kfir... This one doesn't look like that, so I think I need to expand my pool of knowledge out of the plasitc kiddie one... :)
Thanks!

It's only the Mirage F1 that isn't a delta.

They must have had an illness problem in the design office that week, and had to rely on the contractors for a while.  ;D

The F1 is the best looking of the Mirages IMO.

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

The Mirage IV for me, every school kid's idea of what a supersonic bomber SHOULD look like!  ;D

The IV is the second best IMO.

Totally agree, it's obviously an "era" thing  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Either that or it's something to do with Croydon.  ;D

There was the Mirage G as well.

I've always liked the F.1 (whif potential aplenty - what if it had beaten the F-16 in the 'Sale of the Century'?) and the IV.  All the others, well, meh.

Oh yes, there were only two of them though, weren't there? One single seater and a two seater?
