   We are here now to kick off this autumn season really big style – with the Mirage IIIC kit. Yes the Mirage has been announced for a rather long time and voila here it is, finally. And I am really very much tempted to say that the kit is trully superb. To  get released along with the kit, we have also prepared a set of painting  masks and sometimes next month, you can also expect a few more resin sets designed for the exquisite little gem named the Mirage. These will cover the undercarriage wheels and the Atar 9B jet engine nozzle. There is also a second model release scheduled for this month, the Aero C-3B, this time with the pre-cut masks set available, too. Several sets for the Aero are already on the offer.

First, however, let m

This swept wing jet, alongside its predecessor the F-84F Thunderjet (straight winged) is no doubt one of the symbols of the Cold War early stages. And also an iconit jet of the NATO defence alliance. The USAF operated their Thunderstreaks, also affectively known as Super Hogs, both in the USA and over Europe. In the UK, the 20th TBW USAF F-84F jets were also fitted with a special underwing rack that enabled them to carry and deliver a tactical nuke. Deliveries of the F-84F made the Europe's air forces, from the very north down to the southern NATO flank, much stronger and effective and the jet kept flying from mid 1950s up to the early 70s and with some forces even longer. Besides Europe, the F-84F was also operated over Israel during the Suez War (manned by their French crew even though bearing Israeli markings to disguise France's involvement) and al
