Looks good, Edson. That Mirage kit can be a bit of a bear to work with. What scale is it?

1/35.

It's not a good kit. But more skilled modeler can have a great result with it.

Edson,
You've done a great job with that kit. I've got mine mostly built but got tired of the poor fit and bad alignment marks, so it is sitting on my shelf of shame at the moment. It's an interesting vehicle though. I wish there were more options for Polish crew and infantry to go with the early war vehicles. Enough of my gripes though. You've got a nice clean build and very good paint job. Well done.
John

Thank you all! It was fun doing that paint job, but Mirage kits for me, not again in this life...

I've found myself saying the same thing before. Unfortunately, I've found myself drawn back to both Mirage and RPM kits because they are the only game in town for some of these vehicles.

Yes! In fact, I want to build a Kubus, so here we go to Mirage again...

Nice job on this kit. I ahve one too, but I'm thinking about re-riveting the whole thing, haha! When I got mine, I also found that the rubber wheels started melting into the plastic. Unfortunately there isn't much aftermarket you can throw at this one...

Really? I had this kit in my stash for about one year before built it, and I live in Rio de Janeiro (very hot here), and no problems with the wheels.
