1/48 Italeri Dassault Mirage III E

--------------------

 

I bought this kit when I was in Cornwall in a small model shop in Liskeard; it was £10.99 which, I thought, was a reasonable price for what you get in the box, including fantastic decals for seven versions: 

  • Four French Air Force.
  • One Spanish Air Force.
  • One Royal Australian Air Force.
  • One Swiss Air Force(without canards.)

I chose to do the Australian version, just because it was a bit different to anything else I have! 

Parts all fit well and cockpit detail is sufficient, but there is some room for some extra detailing if desired. The seat does come with moulded seatbelts which I kept on and drybrushed. 

All in all this is a very good kit.
