Mats BengtssonExcellent! Both the models and the photos are outstanding. Very well done Alain.
Bernhard SchrockGreat job and outstanding pictures! Alain. ! I had to look twice for "border" between the baseplate and picture 🙂 Chapeau.
VILLIERE JulienHello, you left the base of the Mirage IIIO to convert it 5F there?
Dagger A is not better one starting point?
Alain CourougeAnyway, all the boxes from HPM (Dagger, IIIO, Nesher) contain exactly the same kit, the same sprues. You just need a good book to make a different version. Or you can use the PJ box where you'll find the same kit (with some resins parts) but with the good instruction to use the good parts to do a 5F.
Album info
Here is my third HPM Mirage after the egyptian one and the argentinian one.
The Dassault Mirage 5F had several lives. In 1966, Israel ordered 50 plane named Mirage V. It was based on a IIIE, without radar, and more fuel storage for attack missions. French President De Gaulle decided an embargo on these aircrafts because of the 1967 war in the middle east. All these aircraft finally went to Armée de l'Air in 1970 under the Mirage 5F name.
This plane became a very good ground-attack aircraft.
This kit is my third High Planes Mirage, after my egyptian and my argentina Mirages. It's good kits but with heavily engraved panel lines.
It has been painted with different shades of Alclad. I added some RPK-10 fuel tanks with SAMP 250kg bombs. I also added two AIM-9b rockets.
You can find at the end of the album some photos with my three Mirage.
