Hi guys, thatīs my Mirage IIIEBR converted from Hellerīs Mirage IIIE by adding scratch built canards and fins and FCM decals.  The kit isnīt so good, but is the one I found here.  The real Mirage "4916" intercepted a Cuban IL-62 during the Falklands war, the embassor of Cuba wanted to arrive at Buenos Aires before the Americans, but the airplane was intercepted and landed in Brasilia.

Iīve painted this model with a mix of model masterīs French dark blue gray and gunship gray, and light gray of hobby cores, the weathering was made with pastels.
