Just thought I would post of a picture of a Testors/Italeri whatever one it was Mirage 2000C that I did last year. [;)]This is also to show that I actually build models lol. Just really getting back into the hobby after a bad marriage and getting laid off put my favorite hobby on the shelf. Now looking at some of the pics that I seen of Pix’s and Swanny’s models (plus everyone else’s) have really made me want to get back into this hobby, plus learn how to do washes and so on. Hope you enjoy.

That looks pretty good, Bryan…! It’s a cool looking plane and a hell of an agile hunter…! I saw one do really amazing things during an airshow in Belgium a decade or so ago…!
Looks cool, thanks for the pics.
looks good from my house bubba!! hope to see more and welcome back to the hobby. later.
Nice looking build. Good to have you back in the hobby. Now get off your duff & build another [:)].
djmodels1999 - Thanx for the compliment. I would love to see one of these up close at an airshow, but being in the good ole U.S. it’s a very long shot that it will ever happen.
Dave Toews and saltydog - Thanx you too for the compliments. I have been modelling ever since I turned 10 (Thanx dad for the hobby lol). Constant moving and some bad packing in the past I probally lost a good 30 models from my early years. So I had to make up for it somehow lol. Pretty sure my ex didnt like that to much, but oh well.
rjkplasticmod - Thanx for the compliment and yes I am getting back to work on 2 F-35’s from panda one AF and the MC, plus getting ready to build an Il-2m3 and a Yak-1 for the Accurate Miniatures GB. Thats when I can find time between the 3 kids’ softball and baseball games and work. But since I am working nights this week I have about 4 hours to myself to do some building.
Nize, Bryan, sweet-looking build you got there!
Off-topic, is the Panda F-35B kit any good? It’s being sold at my local hobby shop but I can’t examine the kit contents since it’s shrink-wrapped. Can’t open it either just to take a peek coz the shopkeeper’s gonna consider it sold [:(]. Anyway, I’m tempted to buy it but I’d better hear opinions first from those who’ve done 'em. Your comments/review about the kit will be welcome. Thanks!
I love the camo colors on the Mirage. Would also like to hear if that F-35 kit is any good.
In my opinion the Panda F-35 is a pretty easy kit to build. The only real problem that I have run into is on the Air Force version. The panels for the fan on the Marine Corp version are there instead of being deleted. So I had to put the panels on which left alot of gaps which had to be covered up. All in all I would recommend the kit for any one who really wants to build it. Plus it has a pretty good looking engine with it too. You also cant beat the price of it either.
Thanks for the info. Please post pics of your F-35’s once you’re done with them for us to enjoy. Good luck!
great build. thanks for the peek.

I am currently building this kit. Hope mine turns out as well as your build. NICE JOB.
Thank you F4PHANTOMGUY. Its not one of the best kits in the world, but it really can be a good kit. After building the kit I found all kinds of aftermarket stuff for it[D)]. Just be careful with the decals cause they are really fragile. Oh and by the way [#welcome] to the forums.
