I'm going bat-s**t crazy trying to find a good square-on color photo or drawing or profile or whatever for 3 Squadrons tail badge, as used on both the Natural Metal and Camo (green/gray) paint jobs. From such a photo, a decal can be made (as below, for late-60 (?) 75 Squadron NM/silver doped units).

 

Been crawling all over the net for 3 days; got some good stuf, but not exactly what I was looking for...

 

So, I'm appealing to our friends and neighbors down in Oz, to see what they can come up. Deing closer to the source, so to speak...

 

what I'd love is a copy of the Mushroom RAAF mirage colors and markings...

 

I thank you all in advance!!!

ps: also, any good close ups of the CAC CA.27 Sabres, standard squadron markings .. as the 2 skins we have now are aerobatic teams, not "operational" aircraft

TIA!

ludo: The stock templates would be a BIG help, if/when I can figure out the late model lo-viz 2-tone gray pattern For the NM, I"m cheating and using the stock MIII skins from SF2E (yes, I'm lazy!)

 

Interesting on the 4-view .. shows the number on the gear door in white ... I've been using black on the siler and camos ... where all the camos in white? (ie: means repainting those decals; 5 mins work)

 

below is the 77 Squadron camo skin; might have to move the roundell a bit more forwrad. all markings are decals!

the other is 76; that tail badge was made froma photo, painted and a decal made. That came out the best!

by the way, why did you choose a Mirage IIIC as basis for this work?

The O version was basically an E without the externally visible Doppler antenna (altough it was built but was flush with underfuselage)

 

good reference, plane per plane :http://www.adf-serials.com/3a3.shtml

I'm using the 3W stock IIIC ... wait, we have a stock E don't we??? (or am I thinking 5?) RATS!! Well, the ini work should transfer over pretty easily; wanted to use as mucth 'stock' stuff as possible, to preclude the need for rebuilding FMs. Nuts...back to start!

 

adf serials is a GREAT resource .. it's what I've been using for the Mirages AND Avon Sabres.
