1/48 Academy Mirage FIII

Gallery Article by Nkululeko Jansson on Sept 28 2003

 

Yes, yes this is the Academy kit and I do know that it is not totally correct, but it was fun to build and for me that's all that counts. It was built OOTB, I used Testors acrylics and Vallejo acrylics. The decals are those included in the kit apart from the national markings, which I bought when I visited Cape Town SA. The squadron markings are from Leading Edge Models wonderful decal sheet for South African MK6 Sabres.

I know there aren't any detail photos, but the digital camera that was used, made a total mess of all the tight shots.  I feel I did not give it enough satin varnish. But hey.. Practice makes perfect, I'll do better next time.

Enjoy the photos.
