Hi, I'm QDC.
What we're about to build today is Airfix Mirage 3c and this is in 1/72 scale.
As you can see, this is a very old model kit.
This was manufactured in 1964.
The reason why I bought this kit is because of a club I joined called "The Group Build".
The topic for the Group Build was to build something from Airfix.
As a result, I was looking on the Internet Ebay and I found this kit.
It reminded me of my youth.
When I was a little toddler, I remember building these simple kits and I used to remember my
brother and I used to fight over these kits.
It just brought back a lot of fond memories.
I had to buy it.
This is a walk in memory lane for me (being nostalgic).
Lets start building this kit right now.
Let's take a look inside this box.
We have one very old instruction sheet.
All the parts for the model including the fuselage, the wing, and the decal.
We built the model kit and now it's time for me to tell you what I think about this kit
so far.
Take a look.
This is the completed model kit before painting.
This is one of those types of kits where it's very nostalgic for me.
The kit was easy to build and the results are pretty much what it is for the 1960's.
I'm not sure if I would recommend this kit or not.
It is still being produced today.
I think for the person who is nostalgic for older kits, this is a must have.
If you are a type of person who wants to have the latest detailed model kit, this kit is
too old for your needs.
This is a toss up but for me, it was enjoyable.
It's time for me to paint the model.
It's time for me to paint the model and the first step is to give it a coat of primer.
I want to talk to you about the decals.
The decals are about 55 years old and it was deteriorating and cracking but I decided to
try use the decals anyway.
These are the results.
It fell apart.
But I was able to use most of them and it was a big challenge.
Okay, so we built the model kit.
We painted it.
We weathered it.
And now it's time for me to show the entire model kit from the beginning to the end.
Take a look.
This is the completed model kit after painting and weathering and I did enjoy building this
model kit.
It was very nostalgic and it's the reason why.
It reminded me of my youth when I was a toddler building model kits for the first time and
enjoying the process.
It turned out to be nice model kit for me to build.
I like it.
That complete this model project.
What you're about to see is a video slideshow of the entire model kit but before I go, as
always, just because I put this video here on Youtube it doesn't make me a model kit
expert.
I am not an expert.
I'm just a regular guy just like you.
I'm QDC and thanks for watching. Goodbye.
