Just got one...cheap from an ebay seller...now what? How good or bad?

It looks good in the box at least, plus its an obscure, kinda cool subject
(I think)...

Shawn,
If it's the Heller model its accurately shaped, but a bit fiddly to align
the nose due to the choice of versions. The panel lines are finely done but
raised, and if you want a natural metal finish the surface will need a fine
sanding and a polish.
It builds into a great replica, especially for an obscure subject with only
a gazillion or two sold around the world's air forces.

Umm, Chek, he said 'Mirage Models' not 'models of Mirage'.  The Los is a
WWII Polish twin-engined bomber.
