djos Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Hi to all Finished very old Airfix model, in SAAF colors. Build OOB only added resin ejection seat I vas tempted how to weather this plane not becouse raised panel lines but becouse SAAF Mirages looks always like new and fresh painted in excellent condition.....so at the end it stayed clean .... Finished with Humbrol enamels brush painted. I hope you like it Best regards to all.... And one of reference pictures Edited January 6, 2020 by djos correction 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Nicely done, mate. The F.1 looked superb, both in the air and on the ground Martin 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A beautifully made Mirage. A proper 'dart'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruskin Air Services Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Blimey, I built that kit when it was first released. About 1981 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Very nice indeed - goes to show that an oldie can still look good when well built and painted - and we don't HAVE to spend a fortune on airbrushes, scribers, resin cockpits and the like. Well done indeed. Cheers Malcolm 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Beautiful job! I do love SAAF camo and roundels in this style, and they fit the Mirage F.1 so perfectly. Thanks for sharing such a gorgeous model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 That’s a cracking job on that old girl and (to my eye) finely raised panel lines are more than acceptable on smooth skinned modern-ish aircraft such as the Mirage family. You’ve done well to finish it off so nicely. Cheers and great modelling.. Dave 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
