Great job for a great iconic French plane

[@DarkSideModeler]

Thank you very much !

[@daniel-m]

Très belle réalisation ! Je l'ai monté récemment et je trouve personnellement que c'est un kit très mal conçu. Votre beau résultat en a d'autant plus de mérite.

[@DarkSideModeler]

Merci beaucoup 😊 En effet Eduard n'a pas été à son niveau habituel. Le Kit en lui même est assez complet mais beaucoup de travail a faire dessus.

[@daneshivers2921]

Truly a beautifully finished kit. Seems to have needed a lot of filling, though. Dane

[@DarkSideModeler]

Many thanks for your comment ! Yes a lot... this is clearly not the best kit from Edouard but it is just a long operation and patience.

[@mauritsvanderaa4621]

Wauww, I watched this video. Realy a awesome build. Great!

[@DarkSideModeler]

[@ramtin-s8722]

[@lesthiele4921]

Well done sir, that was a excellent build and tbe weathering brought out the finer details of the build and paint job, take care and keep safe mate best regards from Australia

[@DarkSideModeler]

Many thanks !

If only YT and videos like this existed in the 1970ties. I only built some models and mostly never painted them. I had nobody who could teach me and didn't have the money to buy all that stuff and try for myself with some badly written books with only a few pictures back then. You can only learn with a teacher or really good videos. thx

[@DarkSideModeler]

Many thanks for your comment ! I think all of start like you (it is my case)… concernant the material I got it year after year be cause my budget wars very limited.

[@danielbrandao3166]

Thank you ! happy new year !

[@charlie418791]

Nice work. 👍

[@DarkSideModeler]

Thanks a lot !

[@fabiosilva3799]

Vey good! I suggest the assembly of the Mirage IIIE 1\48 Kinetic kit, because the assembly engineering is totally different compared to the Mirage IIIC Eduard kit .

[@DarkSideModeler]

Thanks for your comment ! I not your suggestion for a future model

[@TheCraigievee]

Epic!

[@DarkSideModeler]

Many thank !

[@remybrignone]

Very very great job ! This Migage III by Eduard is definiltly not made for the beginners. The fit is not good. Especially between fuselage and wings. So, well done ! 👏

[@DarkSideModeler]

Many thanks ! This is the problem of eduard : a lot of adjustement to do!

[@TheModelorian]

Very nice and authentic weathering. Really good job! I have the kit in my stash, too. How's it?

[@DarkSideModeler]

Many thanks ! The kit is nice and simple to build so it wars a pleasure to do it. As usuel with eduard there are little gaps between the body and the wings but very easy to fix. The finished model is a must to have in your collection !

[@juancho420]

Where did you stick the main gears? There is no notch to hold them in place. I hated this model. Going to try Hobby Boss/Kinetic

[@DarkSideModeler]

Yes, it was a bit difficult but I built it myself. I don't know the quality of other brands but for sure this is not the best model of Eduard...

[@UncleTadhg]

The Hobby Boss Mirage is very, very good. The only issue I had was with the windscreen and even then I suspect it was my own fault.

[@ec460]

Beautiful! Love it! Congrats. Where did you get the weights for the nozzle? Thank you

[@DarkSideModeler]

Thank you very much ! The weights came from a fishing store. Excellent to choose the weights, the form the quantities...

[@ec460]

@@DarkSideModeler great tip! Thank you much

[@kurtahrens]

Your work is amazing and your videos are always appreciated! BTW, how is the DeLorean build coming along?

[@DarkSideModeler]

Thanks you for your comment ! After a lot of problème of delivery of pieces (thanks to eaglemoss…again…) I finally received pieces. So, coming soon : the doors !

[@kurtahrens]

@@DarkSideModeler I'm so sorry to hear that. I too have had the worst time with EM. I've had 17 reships due to damaged parts, missing parts, and incorrect parts being shipped. It has added over six months to my build, but the journey is now coming to an end. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours :-)

Hi there! First is first: is it possibly Y&T the soundtrack at 13:10? What song it is? At 14:15 I just felt like cranking all the volume up through my Yamaha NS1000M soundspeakers, and at least three neighbours in the building came ringing on my doorbell to ask whether the whole flat was crumbling down! (tee-hee). As for the Eduard Mirage kit, if I could have ever kitbashed that one with the old Heller Mirage, we would have had the most accurate Mirage kit in 1/48, shapewise. The Kinetic kit pales by comparison and, unfortunately for the Eduard kit, the aft fuselage is not high enough, and the cross-section lacks the Ω-like form so characteristic on the French Deltas.
