  Chile Independence Day 2007 

 

Hi ARC friends.  Today we celebrate our Independence Day, and I want to show you, my Mirage "Pantera", identical model to the one belonging to the Fuerza Aerea de Chile, FACH (Chilean Air Force). 

To make this model, I used the Mirage III CB from Heller in1/48 scale.  All the modifications to the nose and the rear fuselage area, were scratchbuilt.  Mirage III CB from Heller in1/48 scale.  All the modifications to the nose and the rear fuselage area, were scratchbuilt.

This model represents one of the two dual Panteras fighters, in a low visibility scheme used in the south of my country, between 1995 and 2005.  Now these schemes are similar in forms but the colors are changed.

As usual, I include pictures from my model adapted, with a computer graphic program.

I hope you enjoy it.  Happy modeling.
