Don Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Good Day All, I'm trying to find details on the aft missile rails/launchers carried by the Swiss Mirage IIIS's as seen in this pic. http://www.aviationmuseum.eu/World/Europe/Switserland/Payerne/Payerne_museum_photo/Dassault_Mirage_IIIS_J-2301.htm From what I've been able to tell, they were used to carry the fat bodied AIM-26 Falcon (HM-55 in SwAF service) missile. Thanks in advance for any help. Don W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1903flight Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Is it the standard rear fuselage pylons introduced on the Mirage IIIE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen what the standard rear pylons on the IIIE look like. I was, in fact, unaware that anyone other than the Swiss carried rear pylons on their III's or V's. I know the 2000 has them. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Are these guys still in business? I think what's at the bottom is exactly what I'm looking for. Did a search and it looks like a company called GDKits is carrying the Aero 48 stuff. Thanks for the lead sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillidragon Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I think the 5J had them, at least. I'm doing a IIIS myself, in 1/72, and I'm also looking for dimensions of these things; an alternative, if you can't find them, is to use the centreline station for an AGM; AS30, I think?

I emailed them (Aero48) on Monday and haven't heard back. And GDKits does not list the aft pylons in their product line. Looks like they should be pretty straight forward to scratch build though. Thanks all who replied and helped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
