Cool.  I wish someone did a 1/48 or 1/35 kit of this but alas the only one I am aware of is the old 1/72 Fantastic Plastic one:



It would be interesting to see a developed version that followed the same career path as the AH-1 Cobra and/or AH-64 Apache with ATGMs, cannon, better sensors etc.

A good reason why full power is applied by carrier aircraft on landing:

A great video which actually articulates some of the shortfalls of the Dassault Mirage IIIO in RAAF operational service!

Now I'll have some greater factual information to justify the replacement of the Mirage III in RAAF service earlier in my Alternative ADF ORBAT 🤔

I'd call it a "boat", rather than a "ship", but, still, very low! :icon_surprised:
