OK then, Felling the need to build a wingy thing just for something different. I bought this one during the first lock down back whenever... I picked it up as a skills builder, particularly for paintingas the parts count comes in at about 40  . The single set of markings are for a French bird but roundels and fin tricolour are very out of register, so something else will be required. The detailed cockpit , their words not mine, consists of this as a representation of this  . Given the extant level of detail in the rest, probably won't bother. It's a painting canvas after all .. Welcome your thoughts though fellas and ladies TTFN P

A grand choice there Paul  . To be honest, I would certainly do something with the office, but that is just my opinion

Yup. The side walls are also bare so even if not a lot is on view I'm inclined to do some furling.

The Mirage III; looking forward to this one. Yes, unfortunately this was one of Academy's early winged thingies and the cockpits tended to be a little sparse. Their early F-14s and -16s were the same way.

I have subsequently found out via Scalemates, that its miscategorised- its actually 1/50, and is also a repop of a FUJIMI original. Also found a cracking online build that involved a whole new cockpit but not going to go that far . Just some stuff gizmology to make it look something like it should- even if it cant be seen through the canopy.
