Here are some photos of Navwar's Dassault Mirage F1 miniature that I painted. The upper surfaces are painted with Vallejo's French Mirage Blue. I posed the question on several forums, what color do you recommend painting cold war French fighters? I guess I should have looked at Vallejo's color chart.
I always use a scribe tool to make the lines deeper. This makes the ink wash that I use disperse better in the lines. Here is a photo of the plane before etching and after etching.

Here are some close ups of the finished planes. I think this is a very nice miniature.

Hi Mag,

Nice little pieces. You may wish to "aggressively" highlight more at this scale.

Here is an example of 1/300 scale vehicles I did some time ago
