Hello,
Can any one point me to a model of a Mirage IIIC (like the one that served in the IAF), Preferebly on 1/48 scale but i guess 1/72 will do with no other choice found.
Maybe even a recomendation about any aftermarket products also.
Thanks...

ESCI had 1/48 Mirage 3 and 5 out years ago. According to Fine Scale Modeler's 2004 release lists, Italerie is supposed to be reissueing the old ESCI Mirage 3E this year. Do a search on the Squadron Shop website, and you should find more info; also try ebay. If I remember right, Revell once had a 1/32 Mirage that you might still be able to find.

What I suggest is patience !
The ESCI model is an E. if italeri reissues it it'll still be an E...
The only C I know is the Heller 1/48th scale model... an old model...
But great news are coming !
EDUARD has announced a model C for the coming months ! It will be in 1/48th scale and I hope it is a superb model, just as always with eduard models !
The first models will be IIIC, and IIIC profipack (resin and PE added)... and soon afterwards they should release the IIICJ (the israely version you're looking for) and IIICJ profipack !

Academy Minicraft also did the Mirage IIIC in IAF markings in 1/48 scale, I have one in my kit collection. It is kit no. 1622. The instruction sheet says copyright 1986.
