Another fast project, just 39 days from start to finish. All-metal Mirage IIIC, somewhat simplish kit from Hobbyboss. Easy to build but I am not overly happy with instructions (some decals weren't mentioned, inside painting instructions were lacking and details are mediocre at some places).
For the first time, I experimented with Mr Surfacer and it did help with small scratches but AK's Xtreme Metal paints were still susceptible to lifting with masking tape (ladder side canopy being worst example of this). Also, this was first kit where I needed to remove seam from canopy and that went well with new polishing sticks and stuff.
Overall, I am pretty happy with the result but I wouldn't recommend the kit. It's cheap but...
