Re: New Release RAAF Mirage III

Not bad! The new paint scheme almost effectively blends in or hide that hideous spine hump behind the canopy area. I hope to see another camo scheme for the Israeli airforce!

Re: New Release RAAF Mirage III

At last.I have been waiting for one of these to come along.Perhaps not the best camo they could have done but at least I can finaly add one to the collection.

Blast just seen the price of it.Expensive...

Re: New Release RAAF Mirage III

Limited to 300 pieces AFAIK.

Pretty expensive to get it over here but I think I will get one.

Cheers,
AA

Re: New Release RAAF Mirage III

I'll be doing the same.Might be the only chance I'll have to grab one.

Bit of a difference in price compared to BE110 which I have won on the bay for 32.00.How am I going to justify this to the little lady..

Re: New Release RAAF Mirage III

I notice a pilot figure in the cockpit. Never seen this on a FM product before. Hopefully it either looks real good or it's removable. Paint job looks pretty cool.

IMHO this ain't a figure. These are the ejection handles.

Re: New Release RAAF Mirage III

I think you're right AA, with the glare on the canopy it looked like a yellow helmet the first time I looked at it.

Yeah, I have models with similarly bright painted handles. On low-res pics the handles can easily be mistaken for a pilot figure.
