FoolOnTheHill Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) Hello, would anyone be able to tell me the FS colours of the Spanish Mirage3E? A link to the paint scheme im referring to is here: https://www.aviationphotocompany.com/p934046062/h836FFD16#h836ffd16 Edited July 15, 2020 by FoolOnTheHill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthldr Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Fairly sure that it was the standard French AF scheme of Gris Vert Fonce/ Gris Bleu Fonce with Gris Aluminium undersides. Xtracolor do them as X375/376 and 378. Approx FS codes are 34079/36152 and 35164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimpyboy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) As above, I would presume. The instructions for Series Espanolas sheet SE448 has the references you need, if you can find it. https://series-espanolas.com/en/79-se448-mirage-iii-eede https://www.aeronautiko.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=1188&products_id=45068 https://the48ers.com/mirage-iii-ee-de.html Edited July 15, 2020 by Blimpyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blimpyboy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) From here: https://maquetas.mforos.mobi/353330/8010984-mirage-iii-ee-ejercito-del-aire-1-48/ “En cuanto a las referencias de pintura, para las capas base he usado para el verde el H309 (FS34079) y para el gris el H305 (FS36118). Ambos de Gunze (Aqueous Hobby Color). Luego las he degradado un poco en capas sucesivas mezclando el gris con un poquito de blanco y el verde con unas gotas de amarillo. La panza está hecha con X-11 silver de tamiya mezclado con un poco de gris claro XF-19, variando posteriormente el tono de algunos paneles.” and here: https://maquetas.mforos.mobi/353330/11320178-mirage-iii-ee-ejercito-del-aire-1-48-finalizado/ “La parte inferior está pintada con Alclad Aluminio (101) y acero VSN algunos paneles para que no sea tan monótono. Los pozos están pintados con Alclad (106). La parte superior está pintada con verde gunze H-309 y gris tamiya XF-53. El panel justo delante del morro con tamiya XF-66 y el radomo con negro rebajado con un poco de blanco. Oleos amarillos para el color verde y blancos para el color gris. Panelado en negro con Flory Models (nombre nuevo con el que se conoce al Promodeller) y barnizado en mate con Titan.“ and from: https://maquetas.mforos.mobi/353330/6140902-mirage-iii-e/ ”Bueno pues a peticion del personal hay van unos cuantos datos mas del pajaro. Esta pintado a aerografo, ab-300. Praticamente usando pinturas Gunze, colores 8 y 317 para el plata y el gris respectivamente, para el verde use el tamiya XF65.” Alles klaar?

FoolOnTheHill Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thank you for the replies and information. The FS colours are a great match and the stickers/roundels are a big help, I was able to get the 'ALL 11" insignia in great detail. Thanks again.

Blimpyboy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Also, I don’t know if the Spanish used the French camouflage pattern, but this could be of use: https://topnotch-success.net/vinyl-masks/camouflage/france/mirage-iiie/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthldr Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Personally I find that 36118 is too dark, however the modeller does say he lightened it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
