Steve's decided on a Mirage F1.


Recommended Posts

Hi folk's,totally caught out as I'd forgotten about this GB,I have one kit suitable in the stash which is a Hasegawa

Mirage F1 simple kit simple scheme too I'm due a visit to the LMS later if there's a cheapie jumps out I'll grab one

but more than likely go for the Mirage.Today is a no go as things to do so it will have to be a Sunday start and

Monday night finish after work.

Hi folk's,nowt jumped out at the model shop so we'll go with a Hasegawa Mirage F1 which I picked up a few weeks back on a whim.

I remember building this kit way back in the eighties but despite the raised lines and age still a nice little kit.

Afternoon folk's,just got a half hour in after our jabs so before the arm becomes useless slap or rather spray some paint on.One coat of 

grey to prime then mixed blue gray for the finishing coat,leaving to dry now for a couple of hours hope to get the underside silver gray

on later as well as a couple of coat's of white on the four missiles.

It's worth taking the time to get her finished properly, especially as it is looking that good so far.

That looks good Steve, any idea what the mix for your blue/grey was, I like the end result & have one to do myself down the track.  :) 

Steve.

Many thank's Steve,Tamiya mix as usual for me,light blue from the bottle,then dark sea gray added in stages till to my eye it looked

about right.
