Mirage III, Mirage V, Nesher, Dagger, and Kfir

[Bryan H.]

Are there any line drawings of both the Mirage 50EV (or Mirage IIING) and the Kfir available.  I'm wanting to 'merge' the drawings to have an upgraded Mirage 50.  The resulting merge will be a Mirage 50 with the long nose, fin fillet and Mirage F.1 refuelling probe, the Kfir dogtooth wings and canards and a GE F404 engine.

The upgraded Mirage will be for an AH Irish Army Air Corps (circa mid/late 1990's).

Kit's thread here got me thinking:

What if the RAF had jumped into the Mirage project early on, and insisted on a side-by-side two-seat trainer, similar to the TF-102?

[PR19_Kit]

That's a neat idea. A Lightning T4 nose grafted onto a Mirage IIE?

Marry a Matchbox T55 to a Frog IIIO? I have both of them........... Hmm, the Mirage fuse may not be wide enough but it's worth looking at.

Given the depth of the Lightning fuselage and the nose intake, I'd have thought a Hunter T.7 would be the way to go. You could give it a sharper nose like the RN's Blue Fox trainers.

Is there a plausible scenario where I can combine the radar nose, cockpit, and other avionics of the interceptor Mirage III/50 with the rest of the Kfir C.2/C.7?

Just thought that it would kickass......

AFAIK, IAI always offered a radar nose with an EL.2031 as an export option, it's just that nobody bit, so just pick a credible export customer, deny them whatever fighter they actually bought, and have them buy Kfirs instead.

How would the radar nose have looked like?

Don't know for certain, but I'd imagine it'd be pretty similar to the Mirage III/50....

Aaargh, beurk, blasphemy, heresy, mon dieu... can't imagine that...

[Mossie]

Which heresy is worse Archie, side by side cockpit or the RAF being involved in the Mirages design???

[chrisonord]

I have just dug an old Mirage III BZ out of the stash, it was originally a matchbox one from 1973, but it is a Revell re-box.
What I want to know is, as this is a 2 seater what load out would this thing have carried, as the kit does not have any hardpoints with it.
Would this just be a trainer version or would it have been armed?
It is going to be part of my Honduras Air Force, so it will need a weapons capability.
Cheers.
Chris.

Just imagining a Mirage III with TF-102 cockpit... disgusting. I despise nationalism or chauvinisme

[Mossie]

I know Archie, just having a laugh!

[dy031101]

I must confess that only the likelinesses of two things will automatically fail my judgement of beauty: plain-vanilla MiG-21 and Su-7......  

So Mirage III with side-by-side cockpit?  I dunno......
