Hello
Here
is my finished Mirage. The
Shahak 56 of the Israeli ace Giora Epstein with 17 victories. I built
the Shahak with the first victory during the Six Days War, a Egyptian Su-7.
I had look the wings of war and it is what encouraged me to build the Mirage 3. The
Eduard kit was a complex build for me.

For
the painting I used Alcad 2, this give a realistic metal effect. For
the decals, I used Mr Mark softer to soften the decals and I am very happy with
the results. On
my diorama base I applied an Israel Air Force flag. Later I intend to
build the Nesher flown by Giora Epstein.
The
next article will be an Iraqi MiG-23 in a diorama with Saddam Hussein.
A+
