Mirage IIIC vs Mig -21 f13 - middle-east theater

Around 1962 both Israel and Egypt received the two respectively and the region started the Mach 2.0 era.
The Mirage is from Mali model arz
and was repainted in squadron 101 colors while the Mig -21 is painted in the famous 007 scheme of the deserted Iraqi Mig -21 f13 and is from Thai models . Both models in 1:48 scale.

Will continue - Yair

Mirage IIIC vs Mig-21 f13 1:48 images

The two fighters are delta wing but there are differences. The mirage delta is bigger in size and no horizontal stabilizers are incorporated. The Mig -21 has the classical arrangement with stabilyzers .
As a result the Mig -21 landing speed is higher but in a sustained turn it bleeds less energy than the Mirage.
I attach here some images that are showing the main differences.

Mirage IIIC in the Israeli air force

The mirage IIIc and the Israeli air-force are love story. No other fighter earn such a love from his pilots as the mirage IIIc in the IAF. As Israeli pilots used to say , it took some time but after a while when they learn to exploite it the max. It was a dream to fly. No other plane in the IAF had so many kills as the Mirage. The mirage huge success in the six day war paved the way for Dassault to sell it over the world.

The model here is the repainted Mali model with clear cockpit and squadron 101
sign on the tail and 3 kills of Arab Mig fighters painted.

Mig-21 f13 vs Mig -21 Mongol

The Mig -21 Mongol was the two seater version of the Mig -21.
In order to get the space for the second seat one fuel tank was removed and the relatively short range of the Mig -21 was even shorter. This aside the type had a full fighting capability.
Both models are in1:48 scale and the Mongol is from Electronic cards with Hungarian scheme.

Excellent builds and Yair reports. I really like the Mig-21, but the Mirage will always be my favorite.

Thanks Sergio - If I can compare between the two the Mirage is the more refined one and I tend to agree with you.

Lightning Starfighter Draken

The above trio are all mach 2.0 fighters.
They all flew between 1954 -1957 which was the Golden age of Aviation.
Among the trio here the most balanced was the Draken as the Lightning was having a very short range and the Starfighter had a very poor turn rate which limited it's effectiveness in close dogfights !!!
All the trio are built in 1:48 scale and come from the German WHM
firm.

Of the trio above the Mirage was the most suitable to the Israeli Air force needs againsf the Arab Migs
were the Mig -21 was the most spread out and no less than 394 planes were downed by Mirages mostly mig -21's.
