Hi all,
Here is the Mirage finished at last. This was a tricky build, of a fairly simple, dated kit, but with the extras in the Eduard boxing and umpteen other addons and enhancements I think it builds up in to good representation of the real aircraft. My model shows an aircraft taking part in Operation Harmattan in 2011.

Thanks for looking, and thanks to everyone who followed and contributed to the WIP thread.

UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing.
OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing.
HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you.

That is just crazy good.

It looks like an aircraft in service!

Wow! I just went back and looked at some of your other models (finished Eurofighter), incredible detail. You must have one hell of a steady hand!

Seriously Goon, another masterpiece. I like how you handled that problem area in the end also.

I am not there, never have been or ever will be, but the fruitless search may be more gratifying then the "content" you might otherwise be exposed to.
