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 unique test aircraft. A fighter IIIS n°2302. French radar CYRANO was replaced by Hughes TARAN. Tests were done in New Mexico at Holloman AB. The aircraft was in bare metal as it was when delivered in 1966. The aircraft stayed in Swiss markings. The second trial concerned improving the manoeuvrability. This involved the C70 canards (like the Kfir), which were later adopted.

The large target marking goes on the underside of the aircraft. This plane was also operated with the recce nose and with overall red fuel tanks. All the possibilities are shown in the excellent instruction sheet.

The decals sheets are first class. Very well printed (by Cartograf) and fine. The large black and white target marking as well as the red areas around the intake are provided as masks should you wish to use them.
