It's looking great! I did the same one. Came out ok but the decals silvered so badly and nothing I did fixed them.

Re: Italeri Mirage F1C
Paint on!! Started with lighter shade of green (FS34258) for the camouflage. I will go back again with another light coat to touch up spots I may have missed. Paint used is Pollyscale War Pac Grey Green FS34258. I compared it with Floquil Railroad Color Weyerhauser Green (FS 34258 but that one is much lighter shade of green than Pollyscale shade. I matched the color to the guide of real pics of actual aircraft. Pollyscale was a perfect match.
Did I ever mention that Pollyscale acrylics is AWESOME paint? Didn't need to thin it. Airbrushed straight out of the bottle and went on smooth.

Very nice! It's too bad that Pollyscale and now Model Master have gone away. They were the best acrylics in my opinion.

Re: Italeri Mirage F1C
I agree. Even Testors Model Master arcylics don't need thinning for airbrushing. I'm finding out this just now.

Re: Italeri Mirage F1C
I’m going out on a limb here. Does anyone have a spare pair of R.550 Magic missiles and a pair of 530 D or Super 530 missiles in 1/48 scale?

Re: Italeri Mirage F1C
I think I might but it would be a couple of weeks before I could check.
