Finished. Many mistakes on my side, mainly in the building section (joints, polishing of gaps etc.) Unfortunately everything is visible on the metalic surface. Aqua gloss clear from Alclad took a lot of shine away from the final finish. Maybe it is more realistic RN.
Final conclusion of kit: I was expecting a bit more user-friendly building. I did struggle a lot with some joints-if you try to repair them you destroy all nice detail around... Wasnt happy with the fit of the canopy since i wanted it in closed position. I did a lot of test fitting during the build but ended up with many problems. But cant tell if the problem was on my side or on side of the kit. Since i am unexperienced modeler problems are most likely caused by me. Looking forward to building Modelsvits Mirage III which is in my stash for comparison+waiting for IIIE or Mirage 5 by Special Hobby, it will be maybe easier build for the second time.

From what I see at the pics I think this turned out very nice. Quite a decent shine and no flaws in the paint job that are obvious. I like it.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. They are very valuable for me.
