Mistral is quite possibly my favorite kit out there. Beautiful pen! (Though I may be a bit biased)
Thanks, Mal! I do love those blanks. They look really nice when segmented with figured wood as well.

Well now you've gone and done it. You've peered down into the fountain pen rabbit hole. First fountain pen turns into two, then three, then....... Enjoy...they are fun. Your first attempt looks great! Well done.
You're right, I didn't even mention the dozen samples of blue ink I got from Goulet Pen Co. [emoji6]

Beautiful pen. I second Brian's comments, the profile, fit and finish are excellent.
Absolutely my favorite fountain kit. Classy lines, nice balance, and a better-than-average nib comes with the kit. Coupled with one of Tim's blanks and excellent craftsmanship on your part, and you've got winner on your hands! Beautiful pen.
I find myself strangely drawn to that kit too. Can't think why.

As a novice with limited experience and ample desire, I can tell you that the Mistral is well balanced in the hand, your nib is perfectly tuned, and the classic look of the components lends itself to a style that is simple and elegant.
If I had to choose one kit to use for the rest of my life, this would be it. You have yourself a winner, Mr. Dart.
