Mirage III C - Eduard 1/48 Scale Jet Model 

Yeah, i actually ask myself many times if the manufacturers build test samples of the kits they release ... but the more mistakes you make the more you learn from them.

Totally agree with you...now Eduard have done it AGAIN with the new Tempest Mk.V...it also has similar (if not worse) fit issues! 🙄

Hi and thank you , i had some fitting issues with the Forward main wheel bay , there was a gap between the Fuselage and the Wheel bay (maybe it was my mistake), and some minor gaps between wings and Fuselage you can see the gaps at 7:18 min in the Video

Many thanks for your reply it is much appreciated. I must say I fancy building one of these now I have seen your video build most inspiring!! Kind regards Dave.

I do not think you made an error Headmod, that is the way the kit is...I built it and really struggled with many issues...by modern standards, I think it is quite crude and I would warn other modellers to maybe think twice before getting this one...look great on the sprue but lots of fit and gap problems. Headmod's great skill may be overselling this kit! Lol! 😉

If you want super shiny surface use Gloss Black Color , as you can see in the Video i used Grey Primer on some Panels ( it seems to be semi gloss or matte) so i get completly color change the Panels. Try to experement on a piece of plastic or spare model , you will notice that Matte Primers gives you a Matte metal finish and gloss primers Shiny gloss finishes , but gloss black gives you that shiny mirror like finish if you polish it before apllying metalizer.
