Graham T Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Managed to pick up an Eduard Profipack Mirage III at a reasonable price - it's a beauty, I know because I built one a few years back. Anyway, that one was over all NMF but this time I want to finish it with the "blue-grey" upper surface scheme. can anyone advise the best colour here? Humbrol or Extracolour?

Hook Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) Isn't this the same shade as on the Mirage F.1? If so, Xtracolor makes this shade as X377. See also this topic. Cheers, Andre Edited September 9, 2020 by Hook Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalea Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Vallejo "French Mirage Blue", 70.900, FS35164 is to all intents equal to USN WW2 Intermediate Blue in other paint ranges Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michou Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Many years ago I took a small flake of paint from a blue/grey Mirage IIIC based at Creil. When I examined it at home I was surprised at how dark the colour appeared. Scale effect - I suppose. The chip is identical to the PRU Blue No. 636 in my copy of British Standard 381C : 1964.

Try that on an F-35 and see what happens! I dunno, give you lot an inch and you knick anything that's not nailed down in the cabin (not for want of trying...)! 🚓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
