This is my 1/32
Revell Mirage III in the colors of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). This kit is
not the same kit as Revell Germany kit. It was issued by the Revell of
Brasil in the ´70s. The difference between it and the original was the type of
the tail, this one was the tail used on the old Israeli Mirage 5.
It was assembled mostly OOB, except for the little use of sprue parts to
detail the exhaust. To finish it, I used Revell at a mix of blue gray (79) with
matt white, so I used FCM decal 32-001.
Mirages III, in the FAB are called F-103, entered service in 1972 and will be
retired on the last day of 2005. Now we are waiting for the final decision
between the contenders Mirage 2000, Su-35, F-16, Gripen (or who knows what)
about the new fighter that will replace this beautiful fighters. I hope !!!
Sergio Brasil
