Very well done Werner! 🍻  Great attention to detail, and I really like the camo work.  I've built that same Italeri kit, done as a "what-if" some years ago.  I think the Mirage F.1 is just a beautiful aircraft, no matter what livery she wears. 😉  Here's my take on the kit:

 

CSAF Mirage F.1

I am using mostly Revell enamel colors.....

Grey 371 approx for the tank, grey 374 for the aircraft underside, and 378 for the top grey, the green is  363 and 65 ~ 50:50

Nice build Werner, love that scheme with the Sharkey tank. I have a S.H F.1 with a Djbouti desert scheme with a tank like that, I'd still love to find decals to do one like yours in 1/72.

Thanks!

True, those decals 1/72 seem not to exist as of now

but SH will come up with a dedicated box for sure, just as Italeri did....!

Very nice build. F1 is a great looking machine!

[Hoops]

Great looking build Werner,

 

Do you have any good reference of the camera behind the glass in the nose? I've not been able to come up with much in my internet searches.

 

I have the special hobby kit in 1/72 and would like to add some detail there.

 

Cheers!

thanks,

 

no not really.... I know that there are different sets of camera

the panoramic Omega 40 and the objective/ long Omega 35....

unfortunately also the fairing differs.....

 

I just made a hole, painted it silver and added a transparent fairing... better then the kit offering.... see also the WIP
