Had this old kit lurking in the depths of the stash.

A simple enough build. I added the exhaust petals to the inside of the burner cans, otherwise it was pretty much OOB. Painted with Humbrol enamel paints, gloss and matt cote.

Nice build Joe. The camo and the decal work are fine! I like it

[Guest]

a really nice build for such an old kit! Brilliant work on the camo mate. Try out the new 1/32 Mirage by Italeri. It looks to be a really nice kit

[Guest]

Great build Joe mate. Like the mirage 2000 decal! Well done on the camo.

Joe I have always been a big fan of the Mirage deltas and you did a superb job of this one mate :-)

Nice one Joe. It's always good to see a classic kit built.

Nice result from an old kit Joe. Paintwork looks good?

A lovely Mirage Joe!

Nice build! Reminds me of the the old Mirage III's from 2 Sqn, AFB Hoedspruit in the SAAF - though this is a whole lot more modern.

Cheers guys, appreciate the comments.

Your radar is working fine Rick. It sort of just got built and before long, I realised I hadn't really taken many pictures along the way so I just finished it and posted it here.
