And those from the PJ set are too tiny. A good news. Alain. Sorry to coment until now but there is a couple big french bombs on the Special Hobby Super Mystere Saar in 1/72 scale also some smaller but no indication on what type on the instructions By the way I'm also waiting for those Mirage 5/50 Daggers from Special Hobby in wonderful 1/72 scale Regards Armando Edited August 1, 2022 by RAGATIGER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 With the AIM-26B/HM-55s in the weapons line-up I'm hoping a Swiss IIIS isn't far away. Will probably buy 1 of every boxing. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just counted up the decal options I have for IIIC's (my least favourite version btw), I've got markings for 8 Adl'A options so I shall be needing a few of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I have Yugoslav AF decals for a WHIF. Seriously, it might have happened, were it not for some Yugoslav arms exports to Algerian rebels that the French intercepted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duke Hawkins book is recent and is pretty good for the Mirage III/5/50 in general. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammer625 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Well I have a few IIIO’s of High Planes (old and new tooling) and a few of Modelsvits - I’m sorta hoping that these will be easier for a mediocre builder like me. Hoping!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with the release of these SH kits in a few weeks/months we will see also the release of more decals sheets ..

I hope that too! As a kid I used to love the French TV series The Aeronauts (aka Les chevaliers du ciel), which used to get shown over every summer holiday, together with The Flashing Blade and Robinson Crusoe. I would really like to build a Mirage as featured in that show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aeronauts_(TV_series) And while I am on the subject of The Flashing Blade... Best! TV Theme!
