I'd reckon that just about any scheme applied to a F-5 could be applied here; that leaves lots of room for a variety of schemes.

And then some!  Looking forward to these.

Hi all

Started my  new project. Line art is now done after 6.5 hours. Most of that pouring over the mock ups and deciding which actual aircraft would serve as stand in parts that the mock up didn't show.



The next step is deciding on colour schemes. A SEA is on the cards for sure, perhaps ANG and AFRES (think AFRES F-105s in all those awesome schemes) and perhaps some foreign operators.

Hi guys!

After having my pc die on me I have managed to recover my art work! I am on the wife's laptop for now (or should I say foreseeable future) but I have all my stuff back! Woohoo!

Stay tuned for more developments!

As far as color schemes go, don't forget some of the "Asia Minor" schemes that appear in official documents; those could work for both USAF and export operators.

I can't wait for the Fang! I've loved it for a long time and considered doing it myself a few years ago.

Why yes :)



The F-1.M53 started life as an engine test bed but was then entered into the competition to find a replacement for the ageing F-104s found in European air forces. It was briefly re-branded as the F-1E but ended up losing to the F-16 in the "deal of the century".

BTW, here are a couple of photos of the real world F1-M53:




Note that it had the SNECMA M53 which is the same engine as the Mirage 2000 and thus some 30 - 35% greater thrust than the SNECMA Atar 9K-50 in most Mirage F1s.

If you need pics of this aircraft, send me a PM. I worked on it when I was in high school (for an Avionic mecanician diplom) and I did a little walkaround of this aircraft :)

Me too!

Here are the two updated airframes.

The general mid life update which added a FLIR/Laser ranger/marked target seeker to the mix.



And a recon conversion for quick sneak and peeks



Now if I get a move on I may be able to get the recon bird done for the recce gb currently in progress :)

With the great walk around photos sent to me by Damien I have managed to correct the engine nozzles and intake cone for this bird. And thus we begin the epic adventure to see if I can complete a recon bird before the recon GB closes. Add to that I will only be able to really get down to it from Monday due to other commitments.

Nice job on that canopy. The glare obscuring part of the interior is something I also do and it looks quite nice on the F-1.

I am really looking forward to this, I have always been a fan of the F-1 and the E was pretty much the perfect whiff for just about any small to medium airforce from the late seventies.

Actually is there a conversion kit for the E, in any scale?

Geez, if Damian's back and profiling again, then I guess I should, too. I'll have to text Talos and we'll see if we can get all three clocks to chime at the same time.

GOOD NEWS! I was at least half smart, though all my reference pics, colour references, colour samples, three views (list goes on) I do have my line art (uploaded that to cloud storage.)
