Mirage III Cockpit Pics Needed
Posted by Bandha Boy on Saturday, November 20, 2004 6:50 PM
Does anyone know of any reference sites with pics of cockpits & wheel weels for the Mirrage IIIC? I've found plenty with 'stand off' range photos but nothing of the inside.

Carl:
This one has a photo of a III-model inst. panel in the black finish used by most operators:

ARC has a nice full-cockpit spread of a Swiss IIIRS recon version; panel is different, but cockpit fit should be largely similar, or at least give you something to go on:

ARC also has a nice walkaround of an Australian IIIO, with gear bay details which should be similar:

Hope it helps (if you haven't got it already).Good luck.

Thanks Greg. I had found the swiss one but not the French site, takes care of the forward view.

Thanks from me, too. By a stroke of fate, I've wound up with two of the Eduard Mirage IIIC kits, a "regular" kit and the Profipak. I also found out, in a stack of review frets I received from them, that the only difference between the two kits is one color fret of mostly cockpit details. And though it is a nice fret, Eduard is selling it separately, and I'm not so sure that the one fret warrants an extra $15 in cost, as I've seen listed in some catalogues. There may also be an extra decal sheet in the Profipak, that is, if the one with the South African markings is not in the "regular" kit. I didn't notice, but with those frets I received, I got some of Eduard's new line of decals, and that included one of the sheets from the Profipak kit sold separately. But since both have the really nice pre-cut masks for the canopy, wheels, and red fuselage flashes for both the French and Israeli machines, and both kits contain the shaped nose weight, one might get just as nice a kit from buying the regular kit, and adding what, if anything, you might want extra separately.

I got the 'royal' kit, the advantage being the free postage (an Eduard order is Aus$40 postage to Oz, unless you go over a certain amount). It's a pity it can't be adapted to the RAAF IIIO's but some lovely options just the same. The decal sheets are a bit seductive, I've spent hours looking at them, trying to decide which not to use.

Hello everybody

A friend of mine is looking for pictures of the electronic bay just behind the cockpit (on the back of the Mirage IIIc).
I've allready searched on the web as well as on a lot of books dedicated to this plane without any result.
would somebody have this kind of photo in stock?

Many thanks in advance

Hi there,
The only pics of the bays I´ve found after an intensive research back in early nineties appeared in a 1963 or 64 issue of the British "Flight" aviation magazine.
I do not have the photocopies with me now.
Were youu able to find something ?.
Thanks,
Gustavo.
