Very cool looking no prop. As usual, you are doing the kit justice. But, me thinks you may wear out your airbrush changing camo colors; unless there are some seriously large decals, which I don't envy you putting on. If paint, then you may jump to first place in the 'most masking tape' used?
 
ok a couple of pics of some progress....
Prepped the Speed brakes and rear lower panels and fitted them, Undercarrige covers prepped, front one removed the plastic retraction arm and replaced it with Brass tube and rod and fitted in place and fitted the main inner Undercarriage covers in place too.

 
Thanks Guys, much appreciated, well....I stalled on this a while while deciding on decals or painting the triangles, sticking with the decals at this stage even though the lower wing decals are not perfect...., I photocopied the decals, cut them out and positioned them to check the fit.
In the mean time I decided to build the previously mentioned 2 seat Partner also flown by Epstein, Mirage IIIBJ 286 but not as a Separate GB build...

Cool. Looking great. Painting them on should look better I would think but what do I know.

You are correct Don painting is the better option, but that will take way longer than the decals...as I have dropped myself in it with 3 Birds to paint i want to save some of that time to improve my chances of finishing them all.....

Anyway first stage paint on both, Quoted as FS 35622........Light Blue, Duck Egg Blue, Blue Grey and so on..
the lower surface Light Blue/Green Tamiya mix applied looks more Blue than Blue green in the pics but I'm satisfied with the colour....
