Still busy with that little... thing  :-wall :-wall :-wall

First photo: comparrison between the original nose for Mirage III and the one for Mirage 5, heavily modified by myself.
Then I've tried to give the illusion of a complete seat including in the cockpit a little part of plastic painted in khaki...
The Belgian Mirage 5 had also the particularity that the cover of the instruments in front of the instrument panel in the cockpit was removed, to avoid those instruments to become too hot.
I've removed the "cover" and represented the instruments with some plastic parts painted in black with some touch of grey to give a little bit of volume.
Finally the canopy is placed... And as you can see fitting is far from perfect...

...I'm really tired with that bad kit...  :( :( :(

...Not easy at all my friend...

...But I'm still progressing: the "5 BA" nose is placed. Looks better like a Mirage 5...
I've also removed the canopy and put it in place again; this time with cyano and pressing the canopy against the fuselage (nothing to loose doing that after all): it's a little bit better now.

Lot of work remains to do...

You're making all this work into a great build, and I'm enjoying your successful combat with the kit.

Thank you!

Today I've delimited all the ares where putty (miliput, Vallejo, Tamiya/AK, Magic Putty in function of the locations) will be needed with masking tape...
