Cheetah11 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi Karl Just have a good look at the blast deflectors. There are different models . On the Mirages retrofitted with canards they are larger to deflect more gasses away at high angles of attack. (The canard equipped Mirages are capable of greater angle of attack) The gun barrels do not protrude through them. On Alain's photo you can just see them end short of the blast deflectors.

Cheetah11 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) Hi Karl The Mirage 2000 (and F1) use a completely different system to the Mirage III. The "Blast deflector" on the Mirage 2000 is similar to a muzzle brake on a rifle and is fitted on the barrel itself. It is the silver cap at the end of the barrel and turns some of the blast through 180 deg. It works well enough not to need large deflectors on the airframe. The Mirage III does not have anything on the end of the barrel, but the gun blast is deflected by deflectors on the airframe. If you are doing a Mirage III based on the Mirage IIIE, the photo-etched parts in the kit are correct.
