for a radical removal of the paint, try an oven cleaning foam. Put the kit in a plastic bag, spray, wait few hours, rinse with water. Plastic perfectly cleaned.

here is the url for the drawings of Archives de Haute- Garonne : Fonds Raymond Danel (56 J) AD31 - Archives départementales de la Haute-Garonne click on left part of the web page, on the words : "toutes les notices" or "Avion D.520s.".

They made an excellent D500/510.

Fw190 A was known as "Anton", D was "Dora".

Hello, in the book (in french, but maybe there were an english version), you can fin a dozen of Australian Mirage III0 profiles : - the most common camo was grey/green on top, light grey undersides with the standard french patterns. According to the author, colors were a little bit darker than the french ones - aluminium - all grey "low visibility", like US planes - idem as above + dark grey - a few were orange/white (Aircraft Research & Development Unit - ARDU) Mirage III, Mirage 5, 50 et dérivés de 1955 à 2000.
