Of course, I really like how the SAAF Mirages look in camo...

I agree Carlos, they do look great in camo. If I ever come across another of these, I'll do it in camo.
I do have a South African Mirage F.1CZ in camo coming down the pike. I just clearcoated it for decals. Pics forthcoming in the Manufacturing Plant (Thread).
Stay tuned....
Thanks Medic! I had a lot of fun with that one, and I got some great practice in doing bare metal finishes.

The SAAF Mirage story is quite interesting. They spent much of their time fighting Cuban flown Migs. Probably far more dangerous than most Arab air arms that the Israeli Mirages usually flew against.

Indeed. Those South African guys were up against some tough opponents. I need to go back in and read more about them.
