Upgrading the Classic Mirage IVP from Heller

[@yourrightiamwrong9643]

well done, making old kits shine is sooo much more difficult

[@mdanumurthi]

Thanks, mate! Some of these older kits deserve extra TLC.

[@yourrightiamwrong9643]

@@mdanumurthi in deed the kit deserves that. i would say not because its quality is great (for today at least), but because its the ONLY kit, there's otherwise not even paper model of this topic😅 What a pitty, its actually a very interesting one.

[@mikebaginy8731]

What an undertaking! Your labor paid off well, an excellent model.

[@mdanumurthi]

Yes it was and thanks, Mike! I am glad to see it in such better shape than how it originally came in the box.

Incredible job. Brawo 👏 I did something very simillar with the italeri Ja-37 viggen in 1/48 so I can really appreciate your hard work.

[@mdanumurthi]

Thank you! Oh boy, Italeri are challenging, more so their older kits must have been a lot of work on the JA-37!

[@llama1910]

Amazing result! Saved this video as a reference, when I will tackle mine

[@mdanumurthi]

Much thanks! I hope you get to do yours soon! Cheers.

[@monkeyhobbies]

Nice build! Congrats.

[@mdanumurthi]

Thank you!

What a great build of an old model. I recently got a set of a Mirage 2000 and a Mirage IV P. This video helps a lot. Thanks for posting this vid. Cheers

[@mdanumurthi]

Much appreciated! Glad the video was useful. And congrats on the newly acquired Mirage 2000 and IVP!

[@chriswobcke7271]

Wow. What a marathon effort!! Congratulations!! Well done. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@mdanumurthi]

Ditto on the effort. Thank you, Chris!

[@filibertkraxner305]

Great video! You really made the most of this kit. I've had one in the stash and even though I love the look of the plane, the quality of the kit put me off building it so far. Pretty tempted now though :-)

[@mdanumurthi]

Thank you! I felt the same when opening the box, LoL. Heller did an amazing job on the box art, though. Captures the lines of the Mirage IV gracefully.

[@VIPER03100]

Excellent attention to detail,you my friend deserve the medal of patience.

[@mdanumurthi]

Thank you!

[@jcwoodman5285]

Wow is right! Great job!😊 This is a VERY rare example of a kit I threw away. Into the bin! Now mine had some really bad warping beyond the horror that it is. Gotta say it effected my view of Heller kits forevermore 😕

[@mdanumurthi]

Thanks, JC! i can understand and sorry that you had a bad copy. That must be horrifying.

[@plasticposse768]

WOW! That is a serious upgrade from an old kit. Nicely done, Monty!!

[@mdanumurthi]

Heyy guyz! Thanks!

[@sonosoloio]

great work! 👍 I have the very old 1/72 Heller kit for this plane but I intend to build it as it is in the box, without any additions or improvements, except for some filling where needed and the colors will be the ones (Humbrol enamels) that I use as standard for NATO plane models in the 60s-80s

[@mdanumurthi]

Thank you! So glad to know you have one! It's a huge kit compared the the Mirage III. Hope you'll get to built it soon. Cheers.

[@petermoscone3115]

I have one in my stash. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

[@mdanumurthi]

Sure thing, Peter. Awesome that you have one!

[@aakusumah3340]

Great job Monty...👍👍👍

[@mdanumurthi]

Thank you, Mas!

[@lalouxfrancois]

well.... the result is certainly worth the effort :)

[@mdanumurthi]

Thank you! It's a beautiful and unique subject. Yes, it was worth it, and I am very happy that I did it.

[@ardi092]

Nicely Done Mas.

[@mdanumurthi]
