lengro Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Regarding the liveries similar to these pictures, what color is the underside? On some pictures it looks painted light grey while on others it looks unpainted bare aluminum/metallic. Maybe they did both?

sedenion Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) I am almost sure that the color is rigorously the same in both photos... The visual hue and value differences come from the photographies (camera setting, photographic film, etc.). The first one is more contrasted with dominant in red and blue, the second is less contrasted with an abvious green dominant. Look at this, it appear even darker than the first one, despite the fact it is actually a French livery like the second : This appear to have a more correct color calibration, but maybe a little too bright: Edited August 3, 2022 by sedenion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution jaguara5 Posted August 3, 2022 Solution Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) it's aluminum. This guy nailed it with his award winning model. Will try to post close up personal photos I have from F1cg, if you are interested. http://www.gmodelart.com/2018/01/mirage-f-1cg-135-kitty-hawk-148-by.html?m=1 Edited August 3, 2022 by jaguara5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a personal photo showing it even better, yes it would be nice if you posted it here, thanks It seems like Aerges used the light grey paint, so in real life I guess it might have been more like e.g. the MiG-21 as seen here: 9 hours ago, sedenion said: I am almost sure that the color is rigorously the same in both photos...

Thanks - it was the underside I was interested in, and as you point out, these things can be hard to spot due to camera settings etc. Edited August 3, 2022 by lengro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 This is the only picture I could find that clearly shows an aluminum underside. Everything else, including full-frontal underside shots in-flight, look like a pale gray. The aluminum paint used must have been good at reflecting the environmental light/colors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was simply saying that the Mirage in question was an ex SAAF F1AZ, and that the AZ is not in the game. 1 FC3, UH-1, P-51D, Mi-8, A-10C, F-86F, FW 190D9, KA-50, Gazelle, Mig 21, M-2000C, F-5E, Spitfire IX, A/V-8B, F/A-18C, F-14, FW 190A8, F-16C, P-47D NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf Virpil: Warbrd, Alpha-R, Mongoose CM-2 throttle, Warbrd rudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
