Mirage IIIc Israel
Air Force
This is my first
1/48 scale. I bought it because I was attracted by the cheap of $7USD and the
heritage of this famous French aircraft in the Israel/Arab war. Where the Israeli
pilots demonstrated their superb flying skill using this high speed but slow
turning Mirage IIIc to defeat the Arab airforce.

Fit is good and mininium
filing and filling are needed. I used Tamiya acrylic chrome silver to hand
paint this model. Decals on this set is poor and I weather it using black
poster color to bring out a sharp detail. The time I spend
weathering it out the detail is even longer than entire assembly and
painting process. The whole project took 7days.
Despite being cheap with simple
detail, I will still rank this model as great kit value for money. For 7 USD
for 1/48 scale and such level, is great.
