Kinetic/Eduard 1/48 Mirage IIICJ
Three models depicting the iconic Mirage in the IDF service during the early 70s.
I used Kinetic's Mirage III mold as a platform and replaced the necessary parts from Eduard's Mirage IIICJ.

Rafi: When do you sleep?
You do more exceptional modelling in a day, than I get done in a year...impressive!
Thank you, Marvin.
These are old stock. The age of uncertainty induced an incentive to digitize my collection.
Yet sometimes, the sirens keep me from sleeping😉
Bravo Rafi 👏
Kinetic or Eduard? I guess Kinetic did not release the C version of the Mirage III. I may be wrong…
Thank you, Stephane.
You are not mistaken. These are kit bashed using parts and decals from Eduard on the platform of Kinetic Mirage IIIE.
Congratulations Rafi! Three beauties! There's a certain charm on the Mirage 3, even more so in Israeli markings. Cannot get more classic!
Thank you, Spiros!
Beautiful models, Rafi! Israeli Mirages are my personal favorite. It sounds like maybe you prefer the Kinetic kit over the Eduard kit. Is the Kinetic kit better than the Eduard version?
Thank you, Mike.
Given that I built quite a few of the IDF Mirage variants, I preferred the Kinetic kit because it was about a third of the price of the Eduard kit. Both kits are problematic with respect to the building process. Eduard's surface texture is better.
All three are excellent. As much as I love the IDF desert camo schemes, I really like what you did with the grey scheme Mirage. Really nice!
Thank you, Greg!
That's a great collection of IDF Mirrages, Rafi @blackmopane
Each of them equally beautiful in their own camouflage pattern.
Thank you, John.
Rafi @blackmopane, you keep producing amazing builds. These Mirages are all beauties!
Thank you, Felix!
