I thought I had started this one here but I guess not. Now to get you caught up to where it is now.

I got this kit at the model show and it came with a resin cockpit from Cobra Co. Also using FCM's "Latin America Air Forces" decals.

Yup. What he said. I'll have to try using black as a primer coat next time.

Thanks guys. Hope to get it painted this week. I have to "guess" on the greens used because the instructions are very vague on what they are.

Interesting scheme on the Ecuadoran Mirages. I had never paid it no mind before. For the Dark Green I would suggest the same as on the two tone Green/Gray schemes used by the French AF. But for the lighter green that would be a case of play it by eyeball. Something close to SAC Gray Green would look about right.
