Fuselage closed up, resin tail pipe installed, and putty applied to the fuselage. Much putty will be required to fair the tail pipe in. There is a rather nasty step and I could not thin either part, fuselage or tail pipe anymore.

Still sorting out the exhaust nozzle, final sanding and fairing in. Wings and weapons pylons are complete as well as gear legs.

Thank's Nathan. They have been sitting in the stash for years, when I saw your's I decided it was time to build one.

I have one more Esci kit to build in SAAF markings. Maybe seeing this one will motivate me ?

Got the Dark Grey applied today, had to quit as it is so humid that even with my 2 moisture traps, the old airbrush kept spitting out gobs of water. Lol.

Thank's Roland. Yes I am retired so modeling and tinkering around in the yard is about all I do. But I think they will most likely "plant" me before I finish everything in my stash. Lol.

Clifford I see you've kept yourself busy over the past months! 🙂 I'll check in here for now, will have to check all the good stuff that happened one at a time... A fine looking non-delta Mirage, looking forward to the final camo! 👍

Well matched green-grey combo! To my eye, both may look a bit lighter than on some pics/models depicting fresh paint, but it looks like natural color wear and frankly, even better due to the harmony of the 2-tone pattern in this take 👍 This camo turns any airframe full badass 😄

Thank you very much James, Slavo Nathan and Augie. Your kind words are most appericated. Let's hope I don't cock up the weathering. It is clear coated and ready for decals.
