Well, can't say I was, but hey, Mirage F1 is good, I've been fondling a 1/72 version thinking of building it a little differently...

Finished the second coat of (Bassalt) grey this evening, it's drying now in the paint shed. If it's a warm day tomorrow it will bake very nicely !! Maybe get some photos up tomorrow night.

Got the second ultra light coat of Xtracolour Bassaltgrau on last night and it's spent the day in a very warm and sunny paint-shed baking.

As you can see the paint went down very smoothly - probably because for this project I mixed the enamel with cellulose thinners. Next will be some masking and sprying the NATO green.

Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

Some lengths of Evergreen plastic strip, some shaped pieces of plastic card and a couple of seeker heads from some wildly inaccurate Sidewinders that I found cowering in the corner of the 'weapons box'

Easy as that.

Did somebody mention rubbing down ?

Well yes, there was some.....







Quite a bit actually

That's terrific, Nev, as you can see - if you can bare to look - I'm getting fairly close to needing them !

Looks great thus far!  Can't wait to see the paint scheme you finish her up in.
