On the facebook group ISM (Indian Scale Modeller) we decided that this year we should do a Gb for 1971 was known as the Vijay Divas and this is my second entry for the same GB.

The kit was there for me sometimes but never, able to complete it, last time I did it was just ruined the kit, so this time I decided I am gonna redo it or basically rebuilt it. Firstly, I made corrections to the error that I made previously and for the one, I started with light grey and wanted to paint as flown by No.2 Target Tug Unit "The Banners". I somehow like their camo, look exotic and not seen this camo on another air force. The painting was tricky I mean getting light grey, then I remember about my paintwork on my previous mirage built and with slight variant by adding a pint of IJA grey I got the base color then I used dark green and khaki green for the green and masked it out. 

It is a great kit by Revell, enjoyed building it.
