« on: October 07, 2008, 03:35:32 PM »
Hi,

Samuraj77 tols he wanted to build a Mirage IIIC in desert Camo.
Like this one ?
The kit is painted from a real plane I photographed on 11 December 1980.

Hi,

There are three cats of the proximity that visit us every day !

I have to say, about my Mirage IIIC, that this one had a camo with sharp edges to the colors, but later planes wore camo with soft edges and some had also a more brown color.

Cheers,
Jicehem
