Who doesn't love the old Mirage, this is the newer High Planes Models kit with Red Roo 3 Sqn markings, trying to match the photo in the Mason Mottram book Page 62 photo

That is nice Graeme (as I have mentioned elsewhere :D )

Thought I think this thread should be in the Air Base part of the forum, perhaps Ray could move it.

Great work there Graeme! How did you find this kit? What paints did you use? I always like reading the tech side of a build. :)

I love this kit, so much I went and got another 4 dual boxings, so 8 more on top of the previous stash of about the same numher.

I used Model Master paints the grey is Dark Sea Gray and the green is FS34087 Olive Drab
