Robert Schneider in MC-ONE from « Swissair-land » country up date 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 that are perfect for the Swiss variant. In inventory Mirage IIIS (fighter) and IIIRS (recon fighter) can be modeled. This sheet cover the last period of operations from 1988-2000 for MIIIS and 1969-2003 for RS. The markings on this sheet cover the Mirage IIIS that have been repainted in 2 greys and the RS in grey/green.

Briefly, here is what is included in this set.

6 MIIIS coded in « J »(J for Jager) are displayed in profiles with specials markings on aircrafts. There are some badges, anniverary markings, and specials… the tribute of the mirage for « gold age » is amazing. 15 &16 squadrons emblems sometimes appear.

5 MIIIR coded in « R » (R for Recon) from 10ième escadrille can be modeled. This set also includes unit badges and special schemes. The last built aircraft 2118 is special, it’s name called « Mata Hari ».

The decals sheets are first class. Very well printed (by Cartograf) and fine. In bonus, the big falcon profile on rudder is provided in a blue-mask !
