Hi All,

I`ve been a bit inactive recently as some of you will know, detached retina followed by a hernia operation, at least I could read after the hernia op.

I had intended to complete this Mirage 1/400 in time for DDD2 but it did not happen, well at long last I have completed it.

I second MartinJQuinn, I like the weathering. Also the light rust.

Hi Pete

Looks great (as usually with your work) and it's a good change of pace from Typ XXIII
Could you get some photos for a MOD Feature?

Cheers,
Skipper

This does look very nice. The weathering seems to be just right, not too much, not too little. I like seeing unusal hull shapes like this. It's just not something you see every day.
