Some pics of my 1/72 Mirage F-1

As I said in my other post with the photos of the Testors F-16, this is the other kit I built in the past. This is a Hasegawa 1/72 Mirage F-1 that I built about 8-10 years ago when I got into modeling with a fury and then fizzled out when I got into airbrushing T-shirts. This is the first model that I can remember building in my adult life and it came out pretty good I thought. There are a few flaws that we all see and know about in our own builds but I hid them in these photos. [:D][;)]

I need a better digital camera as this 2.3 Mega Pixel Toshiba PDR-M61 doesn’t quite cut it for detail in model pictures. [:D]

Hope you like it.

Looks very good. What did you paint the tank with?

Josh,

I can’t for the life of me, remember. [(-D]
I believe it was Testors Chrome Silver but I may be mistaken.
Thanks for the comments.

Looks good, Mike. The F.1 is a lovely looking bird and you did a great job.

Another sharp ‘n’ clean build!

Great looking Mirage, Mike

You did a beautiful job with the painting…

Regards, Dan

Very nice, Mike. Hard to believe that model is about a decade old. Still looks fresh and sharp.
