Greetings guys,
I managed to finish the Mystery / Surprise yesterday so I present to you:
Dassault Mystere IVA, 7-BQ, No.321 of Escadron de Chasse 2/7 "Nice". Done almost 'oob' with exception of scratchbuilt cockpit, bang-seat (Matchbox decided to place the French pilot on a sort of a toilet rather than ejection seat). Pitot tube, VHF antenna and gun barrels from stretched sprue. Rescribed to resemble modern kit and antenna behind the cockpit made using spare PE part from kit long-gone. I am happy it is finally over as I love early jets but started being little 'under-the-kit' because of impatience of mine.
I must apologize for repetition of images in the aircraft gallery. I enjoy this group build a lot.
Marek

That is an absolute stunner Marek, Beautiful. Your re-scribing has really brought the kit to life.
A really good looking aircraft.

On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!

What a great build. First rate weathering really sets it off.
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto
