Second Mirage, but the reconnaissance version this time. The kit I will be using is the Kinetic 1/48 Mirage IIIE Mirage IIIE/O/R/RD/EE/EA

with the Decals from Daco products.

Let's get started! With my favourite step, cockpit assembly and detailing
1. Sorry for the bad quality
Ejection Seat MK10 from Martin Baker.

And while doing the this part I jump to the next step, the 'souris' (Mouse) air intakes.

The kit is one more time very detailed although it's a bit older than the dual seater version and I found some lack in the pieces adjustments, but nothing problematic so far.

Thanks a lot gents @airbum, @johnb, @fiveten. Just hope you will appreciate

Detailing the IP and ejection seat with home made seat belts.
1. 1 hour Job
For the story about the artificial horizon: I think it took me about 1 hour to achieve: 2 sec to make it and the rest of the time to clean what I spilled on the floor and to wash my hands. That's what happen when you are clumsy.

Nice details, my friend @yann!
I too know about those 2sec jobs that take hours and frustration...
John vd Biggelaar said 2 years, 4 months ago:

Even with your clumsiness you achieved great results on that IP and seat, Yann @yann
All the spent hours are worth it.
