Mirage F1CZ in Le Spectre trial camouflage. Corrected roughmets.
The Mirage F1CZ was ordered by the SAAF to replace its Mirage 3 fleet. The CZ was developed for the SAAF from the standard French C version.
The F1CZs were used extensively during the Border War conflict, with good results. 1 aircraft was damaged during combat, and the F1CZ served in the SAAF as a frontline fighter until retirement in 1993.
Represented here is the F1CZ as the first aircraft to be repainted in the Air Superiority Scheme. Shortly after this aircraft was repainted, it was involved in a dogfight with Cuban flown Mig-21s which resulted in the initial claiming of a second Mig shot down during the conflict. The scheme proved highly effective at altitude, and subsequently all F1CZs were painted in a similar pattern.
Direct drag and drop replacement in the F1CZ folder.
