I’ve got the Heller Mirage IV in the stash as well. I’m curious/cautious about building it one day. I’ve seen how nicely it can be built.
Hey Stik!
How about you do a tutorial? Your panel lining is awesome. Just enough to keep interest but, not overdone. That is a Pretty Boidy my friend!
Your xtra effort turned out an xtra nice model Carlos. Nice job. I might have to dig around or a 1/72 version of this bird.
When I built mine in high school, I thought it looked the part. I remember having trouble neatly painting the round belly radome. The lack of cockpit detail didn’t bother me, as I set the canopies closed. Others with more talent, stamina, and references have built this kit to eye-watering standards. I think it is a really beautiful aircraft.
I hear ya G. One of the guys in my old AMPS chapter built one with all sorts of AM and other goodies and it was just gorgeous. I’m planning for mine to be nice, but I don’t have the wallet to afford all the dress up parts like his had. But man, the basic design is pure early space age high speed Mach plus sexy. And that just begs for a serious effort.
Hey Stik!
YUP!!
TB, no real need for a tutorial on my wash here. I used a pre made enamel wash product. I sealed the base colors with Tamiya acrylic clear, applied the wash, let it dry, then cleaned it up the next day using Mona Lisa thinner and some cotton balls. So easy, even an ex grunt like me could do it right the first time.
Woah Stik, you’ve seriously stepped up your game with this one. Very subtle weathering is definitely the way to go here. Very cool man!
Thank you Chad! You are far too kind!

Thank you Vit! You’ve got a good eye catching the Squadron [;)] I do like their insignia.
