No problem, I will make it

I was thinking of a Finnish one too... Joe's description sounds good, maybe the colors need a little adjustment ... or maybe it could be done in bare metal look like early Finnish Drakens and MiG-21s.

I'm not quite sure if it should have refuelling probes, though. Depends on what kind of alternative timelines you go for.

natural metal sounds nice too (just like the early Mirage F.1 prototypes with their anodised aluminium finish) would look pretty sweet on the later development

cheers, Joe

I'm on it for the bare metal one and the camo one :)

dams301 · « **Reply #29 on:** October 18, 2013, 05:16:23 PM »

Done :

Hope you like it

perttime · « **Reply #30 on:** October 18, 2013, 07:07:00 PM »

Oh, I like it!
The camo surprised me, as I was expecting greens and/or browns, with no white.

Actually, I thought you'd use fewer colors. That would be more in line with what was used in real life, until the Finnish Air Force went gray.

Ok, I see what you mean. I don't know many things about finnish aircraft, so it help me a lot

dams301 · « **Reply #34 on:** October 18, 2013, 08:57:37 PM »

It's better in a two tones Green/Dark gray camo like the Mig-21 ?

perttime · « **Reply #35 on:** October 18, 2013, 09:09:19 PM »

They are all good!

... but the two tone looks very realistic to me.
The real-life colors look different in every photo - and I haven't been near a real one for some time.

I start to work on some RAF now that finnish are done :

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #37 on:** October 19, 2013, 03:30:33 AM »

Love all the latest batch! :)

Maybe also a RAF one for Desert Storm?

dams301 · « **Reply #38 on:** October 19, 2013, 03:34:51 AM »

Thanks

For the desert storm one, it's on the way. It was my first idea

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #39 on:** October 19, 2013, 03:53:19 AM »

Good man!

dams301 · « **Reply #40 on:** October 19, 2013, 05:24:25 AM »

I'll try several scheme :
- 2 tone desert like the french one sand/light brown
- Pink desert of Jaguar Gr1
- and another 2 tones sand/rock
:)

Love your Mirage F1s, especially the Finnish one in Reply 34!

Thanks :)
I learned new Illustrator functionality recently, I have to work a bit to master them and I will continue my series of profiles subsequently

Not sure what the backstory might be, but how about one in PLAAF service?

Agree completely. Very nice.

Cheers,

apophenia · « **Reply #47 on:** November 09, 2013, 05:55:04 AM »

Yes, the MiG-21 scheme looks really good on the F.1 :)

Volkodav · « **Reply #48 on:** November 09, 2013, 06:25:36 AM »

I've got an idea for the back story.

UK and France sign a deal in the early 60s to co-develop and deploy almost all the aircraft currently in design. This leads to French TSR2s and Harriers, RAF and FAA Mirages.

Hmm, perhaps Breguet teaming with Hawker on the Harrier with other NATO members coming in? This assumes that DeGaulle does not completely withdraw France from NATO.
