Special Hobby, Israel Mirage 3C in 1/72

July 8, 2023 · in Aviation · · 14 · 0.9K

The most handsome jet πŸ™‚

's Mirage 3C in .

Another quick and fun project to build - the model is very accurate, very detailed and with wide variety of armaments. The decals are too thin, in my opinion, and tend to tear and fold, so I used the excellent ISRADECAL decals set. All in all, it went without any special problems, except for the front leanding gear that I managed to accidentally break into 17 pieces... or more...

Have a great day, everyone!

  1. Good looking Mirage, Allon. Decals can always be tricky, but I think they turned out great. And your metal paint work looks awesome, nice job!

  2. Super result, Allon @allonkira67
    The metal scheme looks really great.
    Breaking the gear into 17 pieces is already a challenge, getting it fixed even more. Luckily no signs of the damage.
    Love the pictures, well done.

  3. Very nice Allon!

  4. That’s a stunner, Allon!

  5. The metallic finish looks great, Allon, 17 pieces for the front undercarriage seems a bit over engineered, well done for repairing it.

  6. Beautiful build Allon 😊

  7. Splendid job, Allon! Painting and weathering are supreme! Definitely looking bigger than 1/72. As for the remedy of the broken to 17 pieces nose landing gear, well, I stand in awe!
    Congratulations!

  8. Nice bare metal! ...And 72 scale too! How do you guys work in those small scales?

  9. Nicely done early Mirage III, I thought that it was a larger scale, well done.

  10. I agree - I thought at first it was the Eduard 1/48 kit. Beautiful work on the NMF and a great result.

  11. Nice work on a beautiful bird. The Mirage looks pure business in my eyes and you've done an excellent job representing that.

  12. What a beautiful build of a beautiful plane. Had them here in Switzerland for a long time, starting out with the same metal scheme. Amazing paintjob of yours!

  13. Beautifully done! The NMF work is fantastic. Well done!

  14. I want one!
    Very nice work, Allon.
