Hi
I think it not necessary to present the Mirage F1 Special Hobby kit
They are plenty build of this kit on the net.
I have in my stach the F-1C "armée de l'air" box with a Tiger Meet scheme.
Now it is the time to start this kit.
I start with the cockpit.
The cockpit is well detailled for the scale.
I use the decals for the instrument but I had cut it in 3 parts (right,center,left) for a better fit.
I dry brush the bath and paint some button for having a little color in this black univers.
After I paint the exhaust nosle
May be this part could be more thin but for plastic injection, it is in the norm. Some manufacturer have this part at the same level than resin part like the Kfir C2/C7 by AMK.
I use the Alcad paint. I didn't see some pics of a real plane and I inspired him from the artbox.

I star also the fuselage.
The air intake need some fillers espcially for one side.
I glued the nose part too and I didn't follow the advice.
The wing need a little filler too
And now a global view of the plane.
At this moment, I haven't any major probleme. I think this is a good kit even for the begginer.
