Mirage in Tiger Meet, 1/200

The NATO Tiger Meet is an almost annual event, a get-together of NATO flying units with a tiger in the unit's crest, the Tiger Meet.

Details are found on the website http://www.cavok-aviation-photos.net/NTM04.html just in case you're interested.

Anyway, some information is copied and pasted here for convenience sake.
"First held in 1961 at the now closed RAF Woodbridge. During the sixties and seventies more and more units joined the club initially just comprising the RAF's No. 74 sq, the USAFE's 79 TFS and the French Air Force's EC 1/12 "Cambresis". The latter one is the sole surviver of the original trio. Over the years, the Tiger Meet evolved from a social get-together to a real flying exercise. "

What I have got here is a Mirage NTM 2004 version. Should be a Mirage 2000RDI but I'm using Cafe's Mirage III just for fun. The real plane flew in Schleswing-Jagel, Germany, in the 2004 NATO Tiger Meet event. What attracted me most is the staring eyes of the big cat. In order not to hijack Cafe's thread, I'm moving here to start maybe a NTM series of Mirages. The pattern is found on the net but of course you have to do a LOT of paint work to adjust and migrate the graphics to the model.

F-22 nut, please see the post by cafe to get an idea of the pattern and then use your imagination. The other way is go to the net and search for all tiger meet pictures to do the repaint. They don't fit exactly and you have to use graphics software to complete the job. That's all I know.
