GO for the engine outlets. No reason to put a shoot here to kill the pilots sign on the cockpit.

WOW
These are definately 'eye candy'; and out of all of them, the one that came closest to service was the version for the German Navy they would have loved to have the Bucc in the Baltic!!

I think it would vary according to national policy. I would say the RCAF version would have the roundel under the cockpit (e.g. CF-101B and CF-5A 1970s) and the RAN version on the intake (e.g. Mirage IIIO 1988), Tawian also intake (e.g. F-5E 1978) and probably the Taiwanese version will have a four-digit tactical number too somehwere on the fuselage.
Great eye candy though and the German example is great.

I agree,the roundel should go were it was in an aircraft with similar role.

You could work better on the vertical stabilizers painting and registration numbers on "pre-Gallic War scheme".

1027?
I don't think the Russians came close to that by a long shot, so what's the logic?

1) Their German not Russian so produced a lot more efficiently.
2) They are widely exported to all but five nations. Gallia, Liberty, China, NK and Argentina.
3) Rhineland Imperial Airlines wants them and the Rheinland Luftstreitkräfte needs them.
4) Just because?
