stevehnz Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Those last two photos look really good, the colours go well with my impression of these from online photos. What brand & shades did you use? Thanks. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrahs Posted September 6, 2021 Author Share Posted September 6, 2021 Based on the highly precise and very thorough research method of google image search and what looked about right over in the paint rack the belly is Mr Paint MRP-049 Light Blue, the green is Tamiya XF-13 Japanese Army Green, and the tan an unholy concoction of XF-60 Dark Yellow with some XF-57 Buff to lighten it and a drop of Mr Hobby H13 Flat Red for warmth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much what I thought you'd done, just wanted some confirmation. Yeah right! That'll be handy come the day I try similar, Thanks. Steve.

Parrahs Posted September 8, 2021 Author Share Posted September 8, 2021 Goal in sight... Decals done, landing gear and doors attached. Apparently most of them tend to stay closed, but I found one photo with them open on the ground and, well, it seemed a lot easier to glue on like this. The main doors are also very strategically placed to get bumped when you handle the plane, and so have probably been glued back on half a dozen times already. Wash and a varnish later and it's done. Missiles have been greyed over a bit, but between the lighting here and the darker grey next to them that may not be terribly obvious. Glamour photos will be up in the gallery thread shortly. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Oh yes, that looks very smart indeed. One of my favourite Mirage F.1 schemes and done very well indeed, I think I need one or two of these in my collection. Very well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
