For Christmas, my brother offered me several model kits (thanks!) including a Novo Mirage IIIE/O 1/72nd.
I will make a Mini-Mirage from it.
Here is the starting point:

Détails:
- the Novo kit was sent by Unicraft kits in Ukraine, thanks (with a Boulton-Paul resin kit I will show later, and a MiG-3 vacform-like model).
- The Wazault name sounds in French like Oiseau meaning Bird, without military/killing side.

Well, truncation occurred a few minutes ago, and with a tape holding the fin, we can see the aspect:
A lot of PSR remains to perform to join fuselage and wings, this will be less funny/creative...

Thanks for the psychological assistance during this unpleasant hard work...
Maybe I will have putty also on the canopy, because my project is to paint it black (not letting it clear) and I consider a total-vision shape like bubble, continuing in the rear without frame...

I will use sky blue unicolor, as usual.
My planes are not military, nor even serious prototypes, just birds, blue like the sky...
