1/48 Heller Mirage CIII - The "Black Mirage"

Gallery Article by Shalom Hen on Jan 11 2011

 

Dear modelers.
This is my second model on this great site.
I got this plane 90% built from my friend (Gidi Vitkon) and I completed it, I fixed it in some points, I added all the gear system, all the small parts the clear parts and at the end I painted it.

I decide to paint the plane in an unusual scheme, so the plane, who answered my requirements, was the "Shahak" 60 from the "First Jet Squadron" after a large dogfight in 7th of April 1967 and this is the story:

I used Martin Baker Mk.4 ejection seat by Airwaves. 
Wish you all the best and "Shana tova" (the New Year in the Jewish tradition).

Greetings from Israel.
