Technical question on that Jaguar, it's a French version and on the starboard wing there's a three-bomb carrier.  Is that specifically for the French version or did the RAF versions also use it ?

I don't usually go for non-USMC airframes, but I have to say that both the Gripen and the Mirage are making me rethink my position.

I vaguely remember reading something about a marinised Mirage F1 being proposed before the Super Etendard was developed.  Now that would have been interesting as an Etendard and Crusader replacement.

Oohh, that would give me lots of neat high-viz schemes to play with, too...now I'm really convinced that I need to add these to my stash.

I like your thinking!  There was a supposed proposal to acquire Naval Mirage F.1/M53:



Would be great to see it modelled.

I think at this point I've given up on them doing anything of their back catalogue in 1/72.

However, I do have to say they've got a very, very eclectic palette of subjects!
