3 new French Mirage IIIs - possibly Special Versions

While prowling the web I just came across these three new French Mirage IIIs:

B11E642 Dassault Mirage IIIC (Armee de l'Air, EC.01/010 Valois - Creil 1979/81)

B11E643 Dassault Mirage IIIC (Armee de l'Air, EC.03/010 Vexin, Djibouti 1981)

B11E644 Dassault Mirage IIIC (Armee de l'Air, EC.02/002 Côte d'Or , Dijon Longvic 1965/66)

I really like the Djibouti Version.

Since they are not in the 2008 catalouge I suspect they are either French Special Versions or Dealers Versions.

Cheers,
AA

Those are some nice looking Mirages.

George Preddy was......Just the greatest fighter pilot who ever squinted through a gunsight.
He was a complete fighter pilot.......Colonel John C. Meyer Deputy Commander of the 352nd.

Kind of like the old silver paint scheme, remember making kits like that when I was a kid.

Re: 3 new French Mirage IIIs - possibly Special Versions

These seem to have the corrected spine/canopy. I think I'm gonna go with "Creil" and "Djibouti". It's too bad they all have the same ordnance...

I can't wait to see how good (or how bad...) the new Swiss Mirages are going to look either. Hopefully they'll be available this summer.
 

I carrry a gun cause a cop is too heavy!

JP, I found another pic on a french store's web page:


I am now pretty sure that the models were released by the French distributor much like the German F-4s were released by the German distributor. So far no info on limitations.

The model is currently available. I guess the best way for you to get it is the big diecast store in the Netherlands. They have it in stock.

Cheers,
AA

Slight missunderstanding. They have it and they'll ship worldwide.

I am talking about the Aviation Megastore.

I'll have to check on it...It does look to be the new mold of the Mirage III's doesn't it.
