My take on a 617 Sqn RAF Mirage IV. Heller kit, rescribed, underside radome removed, RR Spey exhaust nozzles fitted.

Excellent work!  That radome on the underside always looked out of place on such a sleek looking aircraft.  Moving the radome to the nose and placing the IFR probe in a different location has always been one of my pet projects for that old Heller kit.
