alessio Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hello I received today my kinetic mirage 2000, ad according to my modelling standards it looks quite nice to me. I just keep not liking the kinetic boxes, i mean they are a little bit to small for all the stuff u find inside. I dont have any kind of experience with french models...above all about the colours. I was asking my self if someone could help me, giving me some info about the rit colours to use. Above all i use gunze acrilic colours. For the mirage f-1 that i will but im intrested on the " desert scheme" downt know how to call it..brw the one in different shade of brown About the mirage 2000 im intrested in the one like rapresented in the box art. Thanks in advance for any info Regards Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I don't think there are exact Gunze matches for French shades. French fighter Mirage 2000's are painted Celomer 1625 "Gris/bleu moyen clair" and Celomer 1620 "Gris/bleu-vert moyen foncé". The upper surfaces of the desert scheme Jaguar A's were painted in several shades - Brun terre, Sable, Brun Noisette and Brun Café, in several combinations, with the lower surfaces remaining Aluminium.
