I bought these miniatures, Dassault Mirage F.1 and SEPECAT Jaguar(want them as French aircraft). Now I have to figure out what color to paint them. I am going to do a Cold War goes hot game and I like the light blue that the French use on the F.1s Does anyone have suggestion on that color? I think that the Jaguars were painted a NATO standard. But any suggestions for a Jaguars paint scheme would be appreciated Mike

Jags were in Gris Bleu Fonce and Gris Vert Fonce, pretty close to RAF Dark Sea Grey and Dark Green or USA FS595A 36118 and 34079. The Mirage F1 blue was similar to FS595A 35164 or the WWII USN Intermediate Blue.
