F1EDA load out need some pylons:

 

Remora pod is from l'Aresnal

the CLB-4 Y pylon as well

 

the Sycomor pod will need need to be scratched, the pylon is a modified tank plyon

looking up for reference in an older thread here:

 

standard wing pylons for tanks and bomb loads

You might be lucky with an extension - after all Enzo himself might need one as there has been no WIP postings on his builds for months, though not that unusual for him I suppose!

Good to see paint on this one. Is there hope of a finish before the deadline?

there is always hope! ;)

painting should be finished, lets see what removing the masks reveals...

 

not sure if I manage the weapons loadout though....

I'd have Magic IIs and 4 Mk82 bombs planned.... but they are still in a very raw state...

Eduards Brassin Magic missiles are fantastic, I already used the I and II variants on previous Mirage f1 and III builds :thumbsup:

they also come with adequate and nice looking pylons, in this case for the F1 and Mirage 2000 series...

so, decal......

 

lets put it that way, a bit of a cobbling together, not perfect, but with some touchups hopefully doable!

the roundels are from the FCSMM Mirage 2000 sheet, correct colors but,. unfortuanelty not too rich in color...!, and a slight bit out of register it seems!

 

the rest is from a Carpena sheet

with really bad roundels, the rest is ok, but not up to modern standards... the squadron markings are very good though! :)

 

have a look what a different light does with the camo colors!:
