Maybe it should be the first, because I'm farther along on this one than the F-8.  Anywhos, here's the profile from Maverick and my build using the old 1/72 Revell Mirage IIIE/R

OK, Brad, you've got my attention. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to this one Brad!

Yeah, baby: time for an update (please)...   :ph34r:
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

No pics tonight, but a midrange PSR session actually ended up with no R!  I have a few minor seams to finish sanding but she should be in the paint barn tomorrow.  With the Mirage there, more time for the F-8!

Scooterman

Final seams sanded and canopy Futured, taped and PVAed.  Cover the wheel wells and off for paint.

She now has a grey belly.  I spent some time getting the topside colors picked out and won't get them on tonight, but I'm pretty stoked to get this one finished.

Mmmm...Nice!

I've thought about some of Mav's Finnish profiles for my eventual entry.  I think it will look great on a Mirage.
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

You better be quick fellas, only 2 weeks to go!

More color.  Just a dark green to go.  Then gloss, decals, flat, weathering........ :banghead:

Mmmmm, winter cam!!!  Glad someone's doing one of Mav's Finnish winter birds, I'm sure it'll look fantastic! :ph34r:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Hubba hubba - Sorry, don't know where that came from, I meant, 'looking jolly good, sir'

Still stoked from the show today so I got more work done tonight.
