Has anyone got a recon Mirage 111R on the go?

Hi kukulino, I will be in Kosica Slovakia for a few days next month, have you been to the aircraft museum? Whats it like? Do you pay to get in? Thanks

Cool, looking forward to them

On your posting tool bar you should see an image like this click on it and copy past http line from "Direct Link" and your done.

Hey Muesli, hoe gaan dit daar?

813 is not M....... 813 is P (see attached photo) 806 F (probably, the photo is not very clear, see attached) Unfortunately there does not seem to be any sequential relationsip between the serial numbers and the letters on the 2 squadron Mirage 3's. The SAAF bought 16 Mirage 3CZ's, serial numbers 800 to 815 all the letters on the fin appear to have been in red, some of the EZ's had EZnumber... mid fuselage in black eg EZ1 and EZ6.(see photo) In the poto below the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Mirage's are Mirage 3EZ's the rest are all CZ's

That terrain really looking great. Cockpit too, can't find it to download yet though.

Thats outstanding news, can't wait.

Sorry about that last photo, here is another try

Her a few interesting ones Ordway. 2 of the same Imps from the previouse photos, 1085 & 1082 but this is later in their lives with all national markings remove for ops. The next pics are of two Imps in experimental schemes. They flew in Ops area in these experimental schemes. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg268/g...000/imp2_53.jpg It would be really nice to have a Southern African terrain and campaign.

Looking good Ordway, is it gonna be available?

Yeah and the South African Air Force 24 squadron used them on strike missions deep into Angola from mid 70's until the end of the war in 1989, never lost one in combat all those years. As they say "Gone But Not Forgotten"

Hey Starfighter2, those two photos are of Imp MK 2's from 5 squadron when they were based in Durban in the 80's, used to watch them flying around almost every day, the good old days

Hey Ordway, I understand what you are saying, be sure I was not criticizing your work, I was just asking if those changes were possible. Thanks again for what you have done.

Good work Ordway. Some info though, the fuselage gunpods are back to front, the narrow part faces the front of the aircraft and the "fat" part should point to the tail, the black hole that we are currently shooting out of is actually the empty casing ejection port. (see photos below). Is it possible to turn it around? Are you going to be able blank off the rear cockpit? Keep up the good work, really looking forward to the completed project, thank you.

I could give it a try sometime.

Thanks JA 37 Viggen. This is the correct style cammo pattern for most SAAF Impala MK1's & MK2's The Impala MK 1's in this cammo were used by SAAF in Southern Angola for "Telstar" (Radio relay Aircraft), search and rescue and various co-ordination tasks. This is the same standard cammo used by the single seat Impala MK2's in "Ops in Angola",(Close air support, strike, interdiction etc) note some aircraft had full national markings and some were later devoid of all national markings. There were also a few interesting "Experimental" cammo schemes used on operations, I will give those a try when we have a proper single seat Impala MK2 for the game. (ASAP please Marcfighters, Ordway)

I am using photobucket, how do I post a pic directly onto the page, like the Angolan Hind above?

Anyway, two pics of my cammo Impala MK1 skin, still a work in progress.

Nice pics, I like the cockpit mods. I have an Impala MK1 skin "in the works", I am new to this, low on skills but will try post a pic soon.

Ordway, please show us the Impala skin
