Every time I see a new build here, I wonder at the skills in this forum. Wow and indeed WOW. It is a privilege to see just what can be achieved with such a simple medium as paper and an artistic mind. Backed up by a lot of artful determination. Rock and roll.

Bruno, have you taken a count of the Mirages you have done and those in the pipeline yet?

For the moment I still have 7 models or variants to design before I can start recoloring.

1. Mirage III
2. Mirage III Balzac
3. Mirage IIIV
4. Mirage IIIT
5. Cheetah C
6. Cheetah D
7. Mirage IIIR

I did a quick calculation of the recolors and there I got to a staggering 80+, special liveries not included.
I think some strategic choices will be required.

Only got round to building the nose of the Kfir CE.
But also did some recolors of Mirage IIIC and Shahak.

Happy New Year of the Rooster!!!
Very nice collection of Mirages and derivatives, that are a loot.
Hope that with the rooster come some 1/300 marine patrol planes like the Neptune, Atlantique or Argus.
In the mean time I will try to catch up with my slow building program (so no rush).
Happy modeling.

Thanks, Wireandpaper.

For the moment I have my hands full with the continuation of the Mirage family.
Here is the latest status: added wheels to two models and finished the Kfir CE, designed the Cheetah D and C, the Mirage IIIR and IIIRD and revisited the Mystère Delta and Mirage I (metallic fuselage, added details and parts).
Two more models need undercarriage. Hope to get some more builds (C-12, Mirage IIIR) and designs (Mirage III?) done tomorrow. (Weekdays are too short to get much done )
Sorry for the dark pictures. The sun went under several hours ago)

I am sure many people are happy, including me!!!!!

[wireandpaper]

The family even includes an American fighter designation, the F-21 (not a request).
Go go Mirage!!!!

And here is the Mirage III prototype in its later version (with intake mice)
