Had this old kit lurking in the depths of the stash.

A simple enough build. I added the exhaust petals to the inside of the burner cans, otherwise it was pretty much OOB. Painted with Humbrol enamel paints, gloss and matt cote.

a really nice build for such an old kit! Brilliant work on the camo mate. Try out the new 1/32 Mirage by Italeri. It looks to be a really nice kit

Nice build! Reminds me of the the old Mirage III's from 2 Sqn, AFB Hoedspruit in the SAAF - though this is a whole lot more modern.:rolleyes:

Cheers guys, appreciate the comments.

Did you do a build thread for this as this has crept in under my radar?

Your radar is working fine Rick. It sort of just got built and before long, I realised I hadn't really taken many pictures along the way so I just finished it and posted it here.
