Mirage F1CR

Nice work!

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...
