This is my Mirage
IIIEBR model. This kit is an HTC/Heller with Brazilian Air Force decals. The kit
provides two decal options, and I chose the former 1st ALADA (1ª Ala de
Defesa Aérea - 1st Air Defense Wing) of Brazilian Air Force (BAF) paint
scheme.

This is, for me, one
of the most beautiful paint schemes used by BAF since the introduction of
the Mirage IIIE in its inventory.
The silver paint scheme
depicted in this model was used in the early 70's. Nowadays, the
Brazilian Air Force Mirage III's (called F-103 in Brazil) are camouflaged
in two tone grey.

Aluminum.
