This is interesting, maybe, if this is a Reno propeller racer (I would be less pleased with a Mirage in civilian colours)

Well, it does have the wings from a Mirage 2000. All similarity ends there. The fuselage is a 1/48th Stormovock backwards with all tail surfaces removed and the tail of a Draken. The two jet engines are 1/48th fuel tanks with the ends cut off and f-18 nozzles.

Wings have been painted yellow since this pic was taken. Fuselage will be blue if I ever finish the cockpit.

 :-* That racer is looking so good... I can easily see that as a Star Wars's Nubian fighter...  ;)
And i remeber that 101, good to see it back on the bench. :)

And what a great job you did! Looks like a very mean machine, i love the sharkmouth on it, suits it really well... and the weapons load too.

Well I didn't make it for the group build but I won't give up. Cockpit is closed up and the fuselage is painted blue. Decals are next with the help of Cpt Canada.
