In general the Mystere IIc and IVa can be compared with the F-86 A - E series. The only place they ever met in a fight was in the Indo-Pakistan war of 1965. In that conflict Pakistan claimed to have victories over Mystere IV's and Hawker Hunters by Pakistani F-86 pilots. One Pakistani F-104 Starfighter was shut down by Mystere IV !
I attach here pics of the Mystere IIc and the F-86 Sabre.

The early 50's represents the start of the golden jet fighter era. The mig -15 and the f-86 sabre
were the most popular and widely used jets of this golden era. In the Korean war they fought one against the other and the Sabre wone the battle with 1:9 kill ratio , mostly because the American pilots were more experienced as many were WW2 vetrans.
The mystere IIc belongs to the same class in terms of general performance and configuration. All the 3 had engine thrust in the 6000 lb class , max speed around mach 0.9 in level flight and cieling between 45,000 to 50,000 feet. Although the mystere IIc never encountered a dogfight with either of them he had a good chance as it's performance were mostly simillar. Again , as always the pilots level can tilt the balance to each side as it was proved in history of air battles.
I attached here photos of the 3 together - all in 1:48 scale. The f-86 E with the RAF colors and the mig -15 bis with the Yemen air force colors. The mystere IIc served only with the French air force and is colored with the metal silver paint of the 50's.

I purchased the Model-Kom printed rendition of this model. I am considering building it shortly in its 1/33 scale.




I'm bookmarking Yair's build. For some reason, he went radio silent ?
