So this will be my next victim

From what I know the Phaedra kit is the only Mirage G kit ever made. The kit showed up quite a while ago in 2011 and having some scale modeling friends in France did help to get one with a reasonable price tag. Nowadays the prices for those are rediciolous high.

As the box tells, it was first flown 1967; only one of the G was build and it crashed 1971. After the G followed the G-4 with already 2 engines but this was only a quick in between version. Very soon after the G-4 the G-8 followed from which 2 were built. The G-8 with 2 engines is available from Anigrand or Planet Models and Modelsvit said that they will do one too. From the G-8 the G8A with fixed wings was designed, but only a mockup was built. The G8A was available from Shakrkit but it looks like Sharkit is history - well at least for now.
From The G there was also a Mockup done for a swing wing plane with two engines which was thought to be a British-French Swing Winger, but that also never got very far.

For me all Mirage always were my biggest interest and I did collect books and kits but with my big stash sale 6 or 7 years ago, a lot of them were sold. I only kept some of the very seldom ones, so I also have the Phaedra Mirage III F2 in stash and some others.

OK enough about that.

That is what's in the box

That's all. So downside is only some French textual written instructions and some missing decals, upside is you dont have to cut the pieces from big castings

and, yes, I already started the decals.

So far it looks usable. All I have to do now is to print them, which isn't a problem at all. But, years ago I sold all my enamel paints because of the smell, and now I need some clear varnish to fix the decals - well, then I'll probably go and buy a pot of paint.

For the Mirage not much has happened so far, a few repairs of some very tiny holes, some sanding of mold errors but not much and the two fuselage halves are glued together

Thanks for looking in

An amazing entry, Martin @impisi
The decals do already look great, I'm sorry but I have no clue on what is written on the sides of the aircraft.
Looking forward to see this beautiful Mirage taking shape.

Thanks a lot Gentlemen!

it is quite a simple build so far. Sure some filling and sanding, but that is to be expected with an all resin kit. So it is taking up shape

So up for the details inside the pit, not that much, but a little more than only some seats

Thanks for looking in

Excellent progress, my friend @impisi! Still trying to find what the black letters at front right fuselage side wrote, no luck yet, I even "Google Lens" -ed the pic!
Should have written something like "Avion Experimentál" or so 🤔

Awesome, my friend @impisi! Did not see your post with the decals printed, sorry.

Thanks again @fiveten, @gblair and @johnb for all the interest!

And on it goes - some detail for the seats

and some for the front wheel

ah and yes, the first paint even it is just some primer

Thanks for looking in

Very nice detailing, Martin @impisi
Is it aluminum foil that you used for the seatbelts? Looks very good.
