<o>Hi,
<o></o>
For some time now I have been working on a new release of my old Mirage III/5 repaints as new information and reference pictures have become available for making them even more accurate.
<o></o>
This has also resulted in a few new paints; first out are four Egyptian AF Mirage 5’s.
<o></o>
Mirage 5SDE "9115" from 69 Sqn/236 FGA Brigade, Egyptian Air Force, early 1970’s.
<o></o>
<o></o>
Mirage 5SDR “3004” of 69 Sqn/236 FGA Brigade, Egyptian Air Force, late 1970’s.
<o></o>
<o></o>
Mirage 5E2 “9172” from 69 Sqn/236 FGA Brigade, Egyptian Air Force, 1970’s/80’s.
<o></o>
<o></o>
Mirage 5SDE "9115" from 69 Sqn/236 FGA Brigade, Egyptian Air Force, as it looked during a combat deployment to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Iraq</st1:country-region></st1lace> during 1986.
<o></o>
<o></o>
The most common load out on pictures for the Egyptian Mirages are the large new RP30 (insert 384lb into the load manager) tanks, bare metal, “copper” metal and
camouflaged examples have been seen. As the aircraft were ordered before the relationship to the <st1lace w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region></st1lace> improved in the 1980’s, the main weapon was the French Matra
R550 Magic AAM (insert 254lb into the load manager). The Mirage 5 series used the outward canted launcher rail for the R550. Interceptor 6SDE’s have also been
seen with the smaller “supersonic” RP18 tank (insert 160lb into the load manager).
<o></o>
I want to thank Frank Safrenek for his priceless help with both research and detail Mirage knowledge for these repaints.
<o></o>
The repaints are currently available at his great Mirage web page:

<o></o>
My SAAF repaints are also getting a rework first out are two “1966” bare metal IIIEZs from 2 Sqn. Decals and stencils have been extensively remade after new
reference pictures have become available.
<o></o>
Mirage IIIEZ 819 “V”
<o></o>
<o></o>
Mirage IIIEZ 823 “Z”
