Original choices and default scheme

Scheme A, Mirage IIICJ 52, No. 101 Squadron, Hatzor AFB, Israel, 1967; Mr. Color C family.

Scheme A: Mirage IIICJ 52, No. 101 Squadron, Hatzor AFB, Israel, 1967. Scheme B: Mirage IIICJ 745, No. 117 Squadron, Ramat David AFB, Israel, 1967. Scheme C: Mirage IIICJ 60 of the same unit/base in 1967. Scheme D: Mirage IIICJ 784, No. 119 Squadron, Tel Nof AFB, Israel, 1966.

All four schemes call for MC-var. shades for the natural-metal airframe. The original depicts varied panel tones but gives no exact MC product codes, shade count or recipe. This remains a disabled reference; a single Silver paint is not a complete natural-metal scheme.

Scheme colour E Brownish Anticorro is printed H/C8+H/C10 with no proportions. The individual C8 and C10 paints are separately identified below, but the recipe remains unresolved. Do not infer a 1:1 mixture or combine Aqueous H with Mr. Color C paint.

The Mr. Color C family is the default for Scheme A; the15 original Aqueous H alternatives remain separate unchecked references. Source labels such as Fabric, Leather and Olive are retained alongside the exact current code identities, without claiming tested physical equivalence.

Scheme A shows a Matra R530 missile with White, Black and Dark Grey details. Scheme D shows Shafrir1/Shafrir2 and 250 kg bomb alternatives with additional Olive H52/C12 and Yellow H4/C4; those extra paints start unchecked. Seat Olive H78/C38 is distinct.

The original shows optional AIM-9B/D Sidewinders, Shafrir1/2, Matra R530, two 250 kg bombs and 500, 625, 880 or 1300-litre tanks. These are alternative stores; follow the chosen scheme or appropriate source photographs, rather than fitting every option. Outboard actuator housings B27 are used only when no wingtip AAM is carried.

Canopy may be posed open or closed. Schemes A–C use fin C7, while Scheme D uses E1 with the illustrated trimming. Nose weight is called for without a specified amount. No pilot figure appears in the reviewed parts/assembly package.

Both original supplements revise the assembly order around pages 8–9 and give fitting/cutting advice for the wing, wheel wells and fuselage. Follow those supplements before joining the wing and fuselage assemblies. The second supplement also advertises the optional M72041 precut mask; it is not a required purchase or a selected supply here.
