Hi guys thanks for your messages. The cockpit is from PAVLA. Be careful using this cockpit because you cannot find a good fit on the front wheel bay if you adjust correctly the cockpit side and vice-versa. That's the reason I have separeted the original part to find a good fit in both sides. Cheers, Pierre.

Very nice build, hard to believe the old Heller can look like that
I like the springs the most 🙂

Interesting project. Will follow!
BTW It would be cool if you add comments (for explanations of what and why you do) to the pics when you add those to the album.
E.g. I didn't get why you put Vallejo wash on the wing before painting. Is it just to test the wash itself? 🙂
And why did you paint it yellow? 🙂
Thanks,
Nik

Thanks for comments! Regarding missing project. I guess it is because kit is not assigned to the project. Please double check "Project inventory" and assign kit if it is not there

Thanks, but when I go to Albums, I can find the project and read this : This album is attached to project MIRAGE 5BA. But when I go to the project list it is not there. For the kit itself, if I do add to a project, the project Mirage 5BA is not on the list of existing projetcs.....

Pierre-Christian, It's already looking good 👍. As a side-note I can tell you and every-one else that some (many) of the Belgian Mirages were painted in the wrong order. Meaning that they firstly applied the darkest colors and then the lighters colors. When these planes started to have fainted paints, the lighter colors were showing the darker ones beneath them.

Album info
This is my first Mirage build. I will improve this old kit using some resin parts, PE parts and also home made parts. I will do a Belgian Mirage 5BA, before the adding of the ECM antennas, it means, wearing an old camo scheme with light grey on the undersurfaces.
