Re: B11E368 Dassault Mirage IIIC, Colmar 1963

See my comments on the Swiss AF version thread. Same applies here, except there is no doppler fairing on this one (correctly so for a C model). The side picture really shows what I'm talking about the best. No further comment...

Re: B11E368 Dassault Mirage IIIC, Colmar 1963

I can't speak to inaccuracies, but I can tell you that this model is a shocker right out of the box. The Franklin Mint has stepped up their game a bit on these models. The better landing gear detail, very nice paint, clean stenciling, and opening canopy are welcome improvements over earlier releases from FM. It certainly has a bit of "Wow Factor" when you see it in person.

Thanks for the pictures Mark. I know about the geometry problems with this model, but that French one sure is cool looking and I'm sure they'll probably sell a lot of them to collectors that either don't mind or don't realize the problem. I think this is the first time Franklin Mint has a canopy that can be displayed open or closed.

Good looking scheme but that profile...

Here's some pics lifted off the net at some time or other just to give some idea of what a Mirage III should look like.
