Yeah. I'd like to see some actual photo's of these. Hopefully they'll be improved over the pre-pro pictures. I still like that French one a lot. Maybe they'll come out with a two seat French that's a little more accurate.

I just had a look of Mirage IIIs in stock at the Mule. Very disapointing! What have they done?! Looks nothing like the real deal!

I went to look also based on your tip-off. No way am I buying one of those. This does NOT look like a Mirage III ought to. The whole shape of the forward fuselage, particularly the spine/fairing behing the canopy, and the canopy itself, are wrong. I won't even mention the doppler navigation fairing under the nose of the Swiss model (shouldn't be there).

What a disappointment, I was looking forward to buy a couple of cool liveries, including South Africa (and I'm not saying that for you, ZS-VAN) if they ever made it. And Australia... A pity.

Whew! Very disappointing indeed, what more is there to say.
