No news about the IRIAF Mirage F1 sheet announced few years ago ? 😕

Well, the Mirage project has been put on ice, as Berna released a sheet covering several IRIAF options, but an F-1EQ (Iran & Iraq) sheet will be surely released in the future.

Do you maybe have plans to "update" MiG-17F Fresco-C decals, just for a new Airfix kit?

Well, now it's a bit too early to say how Airfix MiG-17F will look exactly, but if the form is correct, then our MiG-17F decals (Poland, Egypt, Angola, Israel)  should work without problems on this Fresco too... and also our MiG-17 Fresco A sheet  (USSR, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Iraq, GDR) can be used without trouble - here you can simply adapt the exhaust without afterburner from the Dragon/Zvezda offering.

Thank you for explanation.

About Fresco-A, I assume that Airfix will release MiG-17 in that variant later, because releasing slightly different variant seems to be  their policy these days.

Many thanks!

Indeed, J-702 has small insignia, J-703 even smaller ones and J-718 does not have any wing markings.

And, your're right, (J-)734  in her last scheme should have pale grey wing insignia and codes.

Cordiales saludos
