Hello!Here are the photos of one of the latest model i´ve built.It is the Kinetic 1/48 Mirage IIIE kit, and despite some shortcomings the "bang for the buck" on this kit is very good.This was also my first serious job with Alclad2 lacquers, and i know i still have a learning curve in front of me.This model was featured on the November 2016 issue of the Airfix Model World magazine.Here are the build and final photos!The complete photostory of this build is present on my blog:

That's a real beauty! Cockpit look great as does the paint and weathering!
Oh wow, yes that is beautiful! Love the aluminum finish.
If I may ask how was the fit of the kit? I'm building a Kinetic F-16 and though the detail is great the fit of the parts is very bad.

Beautiful! How did you weather the metallic finish? It looks very realistic.
Excellent work! Credit where credit is due.

That's one impressive-looking Gallic lawn-dart you've got there. Really beautiful work!

I don't see any learning curve with the Alclad. You did an astonishing job!

Thaks to all for the comments! They are very appreciated!
Nathan T Beautiful! How did you weather the metallic finish? It looks very realistic.
Nathan T, the weathering was achieved throughout the use of an enamel pin-wash on the panel lines, followed by several filters on all the fuselage made with thinned oil paints.
Rounding-up, i used ComArt inks airbrushed onto several structural relevant features, in order to emphatise the volume and shapes of the panels.
Cheers!
