Excellant choice, a classic kit. Welcome aboard.

I will be starting with a very old High Planes Mirage IIIC in 1/72.
It will be finished in South African Markings over NMF.

I haven't decided which Mirage to work on, the fujimi, the esci or the revell one!

I'll pick one and get a start on it soon!

Setting up my thread now but can not start until December 1 as I will be a ways from my home/bench coordinates until than. I am doing the ESCI Kfir C2 "Young Lion."

Not for this GB, but I do love me a Mirage - is the Italeri 1/48 kit any cop?

My LMS has had the Israeli Aces boxing on its shelf for ages. I may be inspired to relieve them of it if the PM kit puts me in the mood for a proper Mirage kit...

I believe the current Italeri is the ESCIkit.

In which case I will watch your build with interest...

OK I am going to have a go at this GB-thingie. I work out of town most weeks so my progress will be very patchy. I dug around in the stash and considered the Mbox IIIC, Afx IIIC and the Italeri 2000D but in the end I couldn't resist the one I chose.

Here we go.
