Dave Williams Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Do you mean reference photos of the real thing, or conversions? Matterhorn Circle did conversions with new instrument panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isar 30/07 Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Eli, the ultimate reference book on Swiss Mirages is 'Mirage - das fliegende Dreieck' (Mirage - the flying triangle'), written by Olivier Borgeaud and Peter Gunti, ISBN 978-3-85545-157-9. More than 400 pages, full of beautiful color pics of every inch of the early and late Mirages as well as drawings. Whatever question you might have - here's the answer. I have a copy which is written in german - don't know if this book is available in english. Highly recommended. If you're not willing to find one (I bought it in Switzerland a few years ago), then let me know how I can help.

Which one should I use Alain? hi I did my own " mixture " the base color is the WWII RAF cockpit green .... it's a matter of taste ..isn't it ? if you are tempted by a S Mirage , keep in mind that you have to extend 9 mm backwards the front gear bay. It's a complex area that needs a lot of extra details ...Don't forget to extend the front leg fork as well Alain Eli Raphael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isar 30/07 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 The then Swiss Test pilot on Swiss Mirages, Arthur Moll, described the cockpit color as 'swedish light green' without specifying, i. e. FS number. (taken from the mentioned book) Reimund Eli Raphael 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
