Special Hobby's 1/72 scale
Mirage F.1C

by Eric Duval

Tamiya's 1/48 scale A-1J Skyraider is available online from Squadron for only US$27.92!

Here is my Special Hobby 1/72 scale Mirage F.1C 84 3/12 of Cornwall during a visit to Tours in September 1979.

The pilot is on board, the reactor is running, additional traps air inlets are open and the plane is the point of maneuver before takeoff.

He kept the traces of an exchange with the Belgian 42 th squadron just before the code 12-ZF...

The kit is the Special Hobby. I really enjoyed building this box.

The underside is painted with Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf spray can colour mixed with a little Humbrol No. 130 White. The resulting mixture was applied by airbrush.

The upper surface is a mixture of Aeromaster - 8 drops of 9046 (US inter blue ANA 608) for each one drop of 9004 (blue).

The fighter pilot is from PJ Production, the wheels of from CMK and decals from Berna.
