The resin must be quite heavy though?

Not really, but of course a little bit more than a "normal" nose...

Such a beautiful form for an aircraft--the Delta wing is just wonderful!

Yes, Mirage III/5 are my preferred ones.
Must say that if I haven't had problems with eyes when aged of 17, I would have tried to become pilot and would have flown the Mirage 5...

Sanding of the upper surfaces of the 5BD done. Now it remains to sand the undersurfaces of the wings...

I'm back with that long-awaiting project...

Work on the Mirage 5BD: the tail suffered of a lack of plastic (the little triangle in front of the larger part of the tail was not large enough) so I've used miliput to correct that problem...

...Well, I've also modified the name of that topic: "2015 year of the Mirage 5" was... well...  :-red :-red :-red :-red :-red
