Mirage V, ‘BR 03’, 42nd Squadron, BAF
Hello guys, here is my second the Mirage 5!
For this one I chose to make the BR version, RECEE version from 42nd SQN.
I started the Mirage build in order to make one of each version I've been in. For this version, it's the BR03.
The aircraft is now on a display (and not so good condition in France) But when I seat in it it was in a much better shape.
Only one to go to complete the collection the BA version.
If you want more info about the build I invite you to visit the WIP I did:
Hope you enjoy and don’t hesitate to give comment.

Beautiful plane and work Yann. Where did you get the decals from ?
I have a 1/72 Mirage 5 for which I would like to get Belgian decals.

Nice paint work.

Thanks a lot George @georgeswork for this nice comment. It was not so easy playing with 3 colors on th same surface and you can notice some touch up here and there. But it was a pleasant build

Beautiful! What did you use for the satin finish?
Yann Bertholet said on January 31, 2022
Thanks Ilan @ilanortho. After appying 3 coats of Clear from Humbrol and descaling I applied 3 coat of matte varnish form AK. Hope this will help
