One thing
that PJ Production is known for are their Mirage kits and conversions. This
particular set is designed for kit #721026 or the new #721029, though you could
probably use it with other 1/72 Mirage IIIE/ER kits.
What it does is convert these kits to the latest MSIP update that was applied to the Mirage IIIEs of several countries. In this case, it is for the Swiss Mirages. As you can see, it is a multi-media set that includes a new fin, new canards, nose gear, nose gear door and a new cockpit/nose gear well. There are also new antennas, chaff dispenser and two new noses, one for the single seat S and another in clear resin for the RS. If doing the DS, you can use the nose that comes with that kit.
The photo etch fret includes a lot of antennas and strakes. Since it is their generic Mirage III set, you'll find a lot of bits not used. The set comes with complete instructions showing where all the pieces fit. There are no decals, but you should be able to glean what you need from the basic kit.
