Mirage III

Just so you guys know: this is all John's fault.



Factory-fresh and nearly as naked as they get (except for the stenciling).

Fancy choosing which unit this one should go to, John?

bloody hell GM,

what about my blood pressure
these two would be nice

[BLOWHARD]

VERY NICE!!!
I still can't help noticing it doesn't have a propeller on it though
Some good color schemes here-

Nice, you really look to have nailed the form of the wing.

Only because I got lazy. More often than not, we don't draw the props. Just consider it's the case here.

@John: Sorry about the blood pressure.

Good choice of markings on the second one. The IIIB will have to wait as it means more work and research. First, I want to do a few IIICs. Interestingly, the person who ordered the MIIIC from me flew with EC 2/2 Cote d'Or as an instructor on MIII and M2000 for several years. Chances are he flew that specific aircraft.

As for the IIIC in the picture, it's a very good choice because "Les Cigognes" were the first unit to receive the Mirage III so starting with them makes sense. I'll start working on that one.

EDIT: Ooops. Just realized that picture is not of an EC 1/2 bird but rather EC 1/5 Vendée. Wrong cigogne shape. I'll draw it anyway.

Finally found time to finish it:


Mirage IIIC from EC 1/5 Vendée, Orange AB, 1966, flown by Capt. John M. Smith, a British truck driver on an exchange program.

Ironically, I created the Mirage III template for one of my clients, who flew this very same Mirage (No 10) a few years later, when he was serving with EC 2/10 Seine in Creil.

Hope you like it. More to come.

Awesome and plain beautiful

And another one:


I like that colour shceme (used only on EC 3/10 "Vexin" aircraft stationed in Djibouti). These were the only Mirage III to carry Magic I missiles.

Great work!
