Aaaahh... the Mirage IIIBJ, It's still a lovely looking aircraft even with an extra seat.
Would I correct is saying that the Israeli IIICs were called IIICJ ?

the single seater was the IIICJ indeed

and of course I've seen the two seater, I even painted a few, back in the FSX days:

Simonh and Jankees,

Thanks for your kind words.

Yes you are correct but we Israelis since 1960s do not like to use the term IIICJ because the letter J stands for Jewish which is racist and anti semetic labelling by France. Israel prefer the word Mirage IIIC.

Jankees, thanks for cool screenshots. Is that Restauravia model base you are using in your two screenshots?

Regards,

Aharon
