The jets landing in Malta made it on the news over here, Libya is constantly in the news, but very little actual information as the news agencies don't have any assets on the ground.

The jets on the ground with the vehicles and people around them would make a pretty cool diorama, and a pretty historical one.

Mirage F1 and detail kits already ordered, including Libyan decals to make one of the aircraft actually on the ground here in Malta!!!

Duncan, you can always model them in the DHL PARCEL that we'll deliver them

But don't be too hasty as the choice of RIBBON may vary from RED, BLACK or GREEN

If any of the PUPPATURI (like Peppi in that Xarabank) that spoke too soon re this "revolution", be chosen to be part of the DHL PACKAGE for the special delivery to the Colonel , I would gladly paint that figure

and maybe take a piece of it like an access panel for microscopic analysis and scientific paint testing to determine the exact shade of this grey or brown or whatever color it is

p.s. - and these Mirages may possibly become the only remnants of the Libyan Air Force that are still in one piece, so they might become a rarity!

Would they be sufficient to provide for an annual local government budget if we were to auction or raffle them

I think they will become a collector's item, so they might fetch a good price

Hope they are painted in the RIGHT COLOURS as they might loose some of their money's worth during the auction or raffle
