Same for the tanks, some modulation with oil colours. Not too clear on the mobile phone camera, but it has some nuances of yellow, white, brown and green.

With oil colours (prussian Blue), I added a shade of blue, and it makes it a bit darker. The green areas on the elevator were modulated with green, brown and yellow.

I need an advice from you, do you think the colors are OK for a French F1CR in the 90s? I used Gunze 308 for the underside, and for the topside Gunze 337 Blueish Grey and G309, Green, FS34079. Special Hobby recommended G302 as green, but it's too bright. Any Ideas?

Not sure it it's a bit too blue now?

I think it looks perfect!
When looking at pictures of the actual jets, the grey is sometimes a bit darker and more blue but sometimes a bit "flatter" and brighter.
Can't wait to see this model finished

OK, the grey was a bit too light, so I added a bit of a blue filter with oil colours. Not sure if it's now a bit too blueish, but the Mirage tend to change colours over time. In the end, a final washing will be applied anyway, and I hope I can dampen the blueish tone a bit. Any comments?
The green was too bright, and the grey was too light. Please take the colouring instructions of Special Hobby with a grain of salt!

It looks bit bluish, but I think it's still fine 👍 Very clean and smooth spray job btw 👍

OK, just stripped the colour from the model. The outcome was not as good as expected, and the blue was bleeding into the green, which really looked strange. I will do it again with surfacer, preshading and try to find better colours. Lesson learned: maybe try a few colours on a piece of paper and check the expected results first... grey needs definitely darker than Gunze 337...
