SPA Modeler

Here's the latest aircraft model I finished up just yesterday.

1/72 scale Matchbox kit of a Mirage IIICZ assigned to No. 2 Cheetah Squadron 1964:









Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Whoa!!!

Nice. Not often you see a South African build

Thanks guys! I am so thrilled with the way this turned out, especially given that it is a Matchbox model!

Stay tuned, I have another one on the way.

Very very good !

As said on "production pages", wonderful masking and it really pays off!

Thanks Kari! I enjoyed that build. It felt good to get a plane done quickly for once.

Very cool Mark! Ya gotta live the Mirage! And I’ll second that it’s nice to see one in South African markings. They saw a LOT of action. Usually it’s French or Israeli for a Mirage III, occasionally Argentine.

Thanks Carlos! I agree, I try hard to find subjects that both fit in my collection and yet are seldom seen modeled. Since I'm an average modeler and I've done almost everything else, it helps me stand out a bit.

Thanks again for stopping in and the compliments.

Nothing wrong with a Matchbox kit - I have four of them on my bench right now

You've done a cracking job on that one Duke!

Agreed Stuart! I love building Matchbox kits. Brings back all kinds of memories and also build up to some excellent looking models.

Thanks for the compliment!
