Mirage F.1 - part 2

The build went pretty smoothly with parts fit being generally very good.  Next it was out with the paintbrush for a green over sand camo scheme.  While it dries I'll check out my stock of SAAF markings.

Nice camo ;)

The simple approach seems to work.

Hi Tim,

If you are not already aware of the book 'Vlamgat' by Dick Lord, might I bring it to your attention? It's the story of the F1 in SAAF service, and is a very comprehensive work, and nicely illustrated throughout - plenty of useful references regarding colour schemes and markings.

Hope this is of use.

Regards,

Iain

I’d not heard of the book you mentioned - many thanks.

Just had a look on Amazon, and it's available, but at a hefty price! If like me you are not minded to hand over 50-odd pounds for a single book....? I'll lend you my copy if you cover the postage - e-mail me on albannachtwo at gmail dot com if you want..

Regards,

Iain
