Ok, but can you scale with a factor of -1 in one dimension only?

Yes. Another handy scale feature is that you can hold down CTRL while
scaling and just scale from the center of the geometry.

I have not done that. Holding the control key limits your choices to the
centers?

Holding down the CTRL key forces the scaling "from" the center of the
model/geometry you're scaling.

Try it ...

Also, another neat trick ... if you want to flip your model upside down
on the blue axis with the scale tool, instead of on the red axis as you
described when mirroring:

hold the SHIFT key, start your scale, then enter -1

I don't think that one is documented, but I found it when screwing
around a few years back.
