REVIEWER: Jean-Paul Poisseroux
UNITS: See review

Robert Schneider in MC-ONE from Switzerland has updated his catalog decals for the Dassault Mirage delta fighters. Kinetic 1/48 scale kit is the target. The kit IIIE/O/R/RD/EE/EA version have options parts not used. Checking them, the specifics Swiss Mirage are included! In inventory Mirage IIIS (fighter) and IIIRS (recon fighter) can be modeled. This sheet cover the beginning period. The Mirage IIIS and RS were unpainted, “metal-natural”. This sheet include the transition and paint test made by Swiss air force (2 grey tone). By tradition, the last airplane built got a painting. The mirage IIIS was “Geronino”.

7 MIIIS coded in « J »(J for Jager) are displayed in profiles for the 15 &16 squadrons and 1 MIIIR coded in « R » (R for Recon) can be modelling.

The decals sheets are first class. Very well printed (by Cartograf) and fine. In bonus, the red « flamme » area on intakes for warning are provided in a blue-mask for those who would rather paint them.

As usually, the instructions are clear, in full color and show details that will relate to specific aircraft. A full stencil suite is also included.
