i built this kit a kid early 2000 or maybe 1999. i remember i used tippex to paint the wheel hubs and childs poster paints for the bombs

After painting the model was painted with Klear, given a light sanding, painted with Klear again then decals were put on. Wash was done with artists water colors mixed with water and some dish liquid.

IMAGES FIXED!!

Apparently you must PAY to use photobucket since June 2017! this is new. how can i hide this thread???

ARE THE PHOTOS VISIBLE? or are you seeing a note from photobucket??

This is an old kit, produced in 1986!! I will finish this in French Navy markings. Argentinian markings are too common. Cockpit is bare and empty! decided to do without photo-etch. I didn't even find replacements for this kit!. Quick scratch build for the TV screen. Followed images to paint the dials. This will be a CLOSED canopy. Quite a bit of filler was needed. Pictures i will use for reference while painting. As you can see its GRAY, NOT BLUE-GRAY. After the bottom was painted white. i masked up ready for the gray. Quite a tricky scheme. perfectly straight lines! White parts covered. Post painting and post shading. For the gray i used Gunship gray. Too dark??

Goodluck! Best advice I can give you is to throw away the instructions and base painting on your research photos

Considering this is a 70s kit without todays technology.. this kit looks very much too scale and accurate! its as good as todays kits just minus details.

A mirage F1... dream build.

A 5 month build... finally ready. This kit was manufactured in 1972. Finished in alclad polished aluminum and Klear, panel washed and fully re-scribed. I was expecting worse for an early 70s kit! went together quite well. needed filling of course and the decals were nice and thick but went down well with mr mark setter/softer.

by far the best solution is Mr setter and Mr mark softer! i built a whole tamiya f16 thunderbirds kit with it and it even worked on a 1970s kit.

Leave the canopy in window cleaner that contains ammonia. it will melt right off.

The screens are my favourite! the side consoles were painted individually with a fine brush.
