Dassault_Mirage IIIC 'Southern Hemisphere Fighter' The Mirage IIIC was the first Western European aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in level flight. It became the basis of the Mirage IIIC, IIIE and 5 family of aircraft that still keep flying today. It was a symbol of Israel's superiority in wars with its Arab neighbours. Israeli Mirage IIICs participated in the War over Water, the Six-Day War, the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War, and many smaller conflicts. Many Israeli pilots became aces in the Mirage IIIC. But of course, the Mirage IIIC was also introduced to the Armee de l'Air's inventory. Another export customer that purchased the Mirage IIIC was South Africa. The SAAF Air Force received 15 examples of this version, and later, other machines were delivered in the IIIE and IIIR versions. In South Africa, Mirage IIICs were used for a long time and were deployed in conflicts with neighbouring countries. Not even the UN embargo prevented this.
Argentina also faced an embargo after losing the Falklands War. Therefore, the country purchased nineteen Mirage IIICs from Israel in 1982-83 and used them until 1990.
The kit contains seven styrene sprues and one with clear parts. The decals offer three SAAF machines, each in a different colour scheme (two camouflaged and one natural metal finish) and two FAA machines, one in two different camouflages from two different units.
