one question about the Kit, why HobbyBoss, is this better than the Eduard MirageIII??

@ Oliver:
No, this kit is not really better as the Eduard one! It is in fact almost identical! 🙂
Eduard has more special features included, like a pilot figure and photo-etched parts for examble!
However the Hobbyboss is much cheaper. I bought this box for 15 Euro!!!

... Mir fehlen irgendwie die Worte, was das Radar angeht... Vielleicht:"Du must ja vollkommen irre sein...!"?
Oder vielleicht: Wahnsinn!?
In jedem Falle aber: Supergeil gemacht, ich bin neidisch!!!😢

@Christian:
there is no secret 🙂
Only a bunch of great pictures of friendly modellers in France!
Some amazing detail pictures are found on Swiss web pages.
I search for example with keywords like "CSF Cyrano II" to find the necessary detail pictures for my Mirage Radar!
Some nice books like this:

@ Luc:
At first I was searching for a resin replacement! As the cockpit is extremly narrow I didn`t want spending money, so I start to add some details out of plastic and lead foil and Magic Sculp!
Do you know a brand of photo-etched buckles, especially for Jet aircraft`s?

@Dirk: sorry I checked my stash, I had generic instrument panels from them not the buckles. But you could use following set? (depends on your vision of requiring fully accurate buckles) Buckles - Soviet Modern Air Force (Part S48-015, 1:48)

Have done some minor add ons.
The basic cockpit parts are not bad of course, but I liked to achieve a more busy and technical appearance.

Dirk, its looking great but one question, if you allow: The RBF tags on the bangseat; will you paint the white lettering or will you do it with little decals?

@ Holger
This RBF tags in usage of the Mirage III and their ejection seat, did not have any lettering.
Don`t assume this fact for all other tags on french aircraft`s !
Have in mind, the british Airforce was using in 1960 to 1970 only red/white striped tags without any lettering.
Maybe this practice is later on passed into official use?!
I can`t say why, but the french and south african airforce in 19 60 to 1970 seems to make an exception here?!
I could find only tags in red and no lettering.
Back to your question " How would I tackle that", if I would do so, I would using my Reheat Decals for this manner!
And of course, your questions my friend are always welcome!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Normally I`m using Dymo tape as a guide.
In thiscase I`ve used a strong and thick but flexible tape!
If I don`t have any blueprints, I try to verify close up pictures of the real thing!

Did an imbecile failure! The castle roundel on the right wing (picture 74) is wrong! The springbok on wings is each facing the fuselage. I could repair this, but now I`m looking for a new castle roundel for the upper side. A friend will help next WE! OMG, an error on the last step!
@ Stefan
Darüber nachgedacht habe ich! Bin immer noch am überlegen ob ich nicht doch lieber " Art of Modelling" fragen soll!
Das Magazin sagt mir von seiner Aufmachung mehr zu! Glaube aber die suchen eher Stahlblech Autoren?

Big Dilemma!!
A glass shelf with other models fell on my nearly finished Mirage III CZ!
I`m pretty upset!
The complete undercarriage, all aerials, pitots and the hole aux tanks as the center Rocket Matra are demolished!
At two to three points of the aluminum finish is destroyed...
I`m drinking a beer that moment and wanna start to rescue my model!
OMG! What happens?????????

Many thx mates for your kindly and very ambitious words.
So many of you liked my pictures I did in front of my hangar, and commend the realistic atmosphere., so I would like to say something about.
Well, at first it is an easy task to achieve a realistic perspective, as I`m going down and try to have a view like a quarter scale human. At this point my model looks something impressive and huge.
Some guys have recommended to make my pictures outside with a better quantity of light. During my early photographic experiments I did so. But as consequence of such bright light, a lot of details of the model were lost. Now I prefer to make all my pictures with daylight lamps in a large photo tent ( 120cm x120 x120 cm large).

I explained the work on my hangar here:

My next expos will be in Mol, Eindhoven, Main-Kinzig, and next year in Moveleo!!

Well being the last almost (almost!!!!) everything has been said but... no problems i will say it again 😄 One or even the best Mirage in NMF i saw, thais is really amazing! Congratulations Dirk.
You are one of the best modellers i know and i'm a fan of your work, thank you for sharing it.
well i said almost... and forgive me if i'm going to mention it but... when i see the stunishing work you have done there but... you didn't put an weighed tires on it?? Its like almost die in the beach, this doesn't take ANY value to your work, that i early mentioned is something of amazing, but... well, i hope you don't take me wrong.
Im still a fan of your art 😉 😄 😄 😄

Great paintjob, Dirk! It's not easy to do realistic metallic paint-jobs. And great pictures!

Here are my first steps. As usual I've startet with sub assemblies!
The scratch built trolley I found on the SAAF Forum. The SAAF Matras Rockets are truly colourfull! A welcome alternation.
