February 27, 2025 · in Aviation · · 14 · 196

With modern military aircraft officially prescribed camouflage schemes vary. The green hues within IDF's "Desert" camouflage scheme is subject to the most changes in color. Color photographs in optimal light conditions are necessary to reconstruct the correct color. Wingman's box art of the provides just that.

The kit itself is difficult given the problematic Kinetic Mirage mold platform and the added resin part modifications to represent the Nesher, an upgraded Mirage IIIC to match with the embargoed Mirage 5.

  1. Another beauty! I love both the Mirage, and the IDF desert scheme - 2 of my favorite subjects.

  2. You did a wonderful job on this difficult kit, Rafi @blackmopane

  3. Absolutely stunning result, Rafi!
    A most challenging project, built in excellence!

  4. I've always wondered why planes are painted with camouflage schemes if they're also going to be given big colorful markings.

  5. Nice work, Rafi. I think Humbrol’s Israeli colors are pretty spot on, especially the green #120.

  6. Very striking. Nicely done

  7. Great build Rafi. Excellent scheme and finish. Looks fantastic
