Honduras air force mirages and stuff

The Honduras air force has long had a fondness for the Mirage III, and until a recent reality check with a clash with Cartel MIG29's, enjoyed air supremacy over Honduras and Nicaragua. Due to this major incident where several aircraft including mirage III's and F-1's were lost, a major rethink had to be made. The U.S tried to palm off some F-16's that were embargoed from Pakistan, but the pilots didn't like them that had test flown them, they liked their mirages too much, so a better Mirage was needed. These are a few of what I have to build in various versions I have planned, there is another 10 at least to go at  :wacko:
Cheers

LOVE the 2-seater F1 Chris.  :wub:

But all of them look pretty darn good.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

The Kfir reminds me of an SEAD two seater I did many years ago. Lost in the mist of time, though, but it looked pretty similar, even the paint scheme. Brings back memories.  :thumbsup:
