Interesting idea and great modelling - I really like the colour scheme!

Yeah! Nice result Troy!

Now, what paint did you use?

Acrylic or enamel?

Manufacturer?

Paint numbers?

How much blue did you add to the top colour?

Cheers

Richard.

Gunze H337 (35237) mixed with some H56 (intermediate blue) for the top, H308 (36375) for the sides/bottom. Radome is mostly Tamiya XF-20 that had a bit of another colour added so long ago I don't know what or how much. It's grey with a touch of tan to my eye.

I can't tell you how much of the intermediate blue was added. Maybe 20%. I resprayed the Mirage 3 times since I wasn't happy with the top grey over and over. The blended together to much. In the end I masked the demarcation line and it seemed to work.

It's -17 c this week but I'll try and set up the camera on the back deck for some photos today or tomorrow. Time for another tea first.  ;D
