No Offense to anyone from the UK,France,Etc. What Say you? Thanks for looking.Dan

Yep, a Mirage IV would be great, though bear in mind the kits are much sought after.

My inclination would be to scaleorama the 1/72nd kit to 1/144th by fitting a different cockpit canopy. Cut out the ventral radome and turn it into a hatch/elevator and/or convert the bomb into a rescue sub that could be air-dropped.
