| Photo review: B11E775 IAF Mirage III Finaly got my FM Israeli Airforce Mirage III today in the mail. I'm at a loss for words to describe it once I opened it up and had a good look at it. I snapped alot of pictures at just about every angle I could think of to show the jet fighter's elegant silhoutte. Even if you don't like delta-winged birds, this one will really grab your attention. Overall, I am very VERY pleased and satisfied as I've waited this long to acquire one for my IAF themed collection. FM did not disappoint and their efforts to do a more refined and accurate shape of the Mirage really shows it on this bird. I'll let you be the judge of the photos to form your opinions, but I am quite ambivalent and overjoyed at this point. Oh btw, I forget to mention that the canopy opens up and it is 'hinged' securely to allow for it to stay put. Now, I could start adding details (not that it still needs it) like a ladder and a pilot figure. Too cool for school, eh! Franklin Mint just needs to do a MiG 19s and 21s, and hopefully do some repaints of their MiG 17s...and you know what I'm getting at! | ||||||||||||||
