Just scored one on eBay. This one only has French and Swiss marking and I have always wanted to do an IAF bird. Isradecals doesn't show anything in 1/32 for the Mirage.
Anybody know if someone did/does/has a sheet for the IAF Mirages, most definitely a camoed one.
TIA Frank
The IDF didn't fly the Mirage IIIE version as in the Revell kit, just the IIIC, which had a shorter forward fuselage, or the Nesher (Mirage 5 clone), which had a different nose. They also flew the Kfir, which is a derivative. Regardless, you can't build a IAF Mirage out of the box, and I don't think even the rare Revell "Mirage 5J" kit has the proper nose for a Nesher.
Probably because of that, there are no IAF Mirage decals in 1/32 scale. The closest is probably the rare Tiger Wings 1/32 sheet for the Kfir. TAC Scale made, and CAM reissued, a Kfir C7 conversion for the Revell kit.

Bummer, but thanks. Great Models lists the conversion, but it's pricey.
