WildeSau75 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 Michael, next time you are around Milan give me a shout then, we can arrange a visit to a few places of interest for modellers, including a couple of good bars... Ciao Giorgio, That sounds like a plan! I definitely will. Chances are it's gone be around May. Looking forward! Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedford Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks Giorgio - then just the IIIS have been delivered in NMF colors first? If so, did they get their later two grey tone paint scheme before getting the canards? Means can also a two grey tone Mirage IIIS be build without canards? TIA. Cheers, Michael Hi all, In a few pictures in a book, Mirage RS where in metallic schema with some parts in red (very first delivery schema if I remember, similar to the unique Mirage IIIC delivered to Switzerland). Those had no canards. There is also the "Holloman" mirage (J-2302, so it's a Mirage IIIS and not RS, J- is for S, R- is for RS), the one with a big circle in black and white on each side, which was used for testing purpose, in mettalic schema and red parts but with green camouflaged nose. Some pictures of Mirage S in 1987 are seen in 2 tones camouflages without canard (J-2311). same year the J-2322 is seen without canard in 2 gray tones and a shark mouth on nose. take care as if you do the mirage without canards, you have to build it without RWR sensors on tail and wings and some IFF/UHF antennas. Interception light was not on place too, so you have to fill it in the Kinetic kit. Nose strakes were already on place. Also the modernized Mirages had a new ejection seat, old one was Martin-Baker SRM 4, new one was Martin-Baker SRM 6. Not sure for Chaff/Flare dispenser, but think it has been installed with canards...Finally I found some pictures on Internet (source http://www.wings-aviation.ch/16-SAF/200-Aircraft/Dassault-Mirage/Fighter.htm): Hope it can help.
