This second sheet is also for the Italeri/ESCI Mirage F.1 kit and covers 12 options over 7 nations. As with the previous sheet, this one includes a highly detailed sub-sheet with unit badges on it. These are to be cut out from the sheet and placed over the white backgrounds. Care needs to be taken with these decals as they can be quite fragile.

So let's get on with the options:

Iraq: Two options for aircraft that were successful in the Iran-Iraq war.

Morocco: Two options again and both in a desert camo.

Kuwait: Again two options with one being in the air defense colors and the other in a ground attack scheme. Both can be marked with the 'Free Kuwait' option.

Jordan: As with Kuwait, there are two planes; one in air defense colors and the other in a desert camo as used for ground attack.

Spain: These early schemes include an air defense blue/silver and ground attack tan/brown/green over light blue.

Libya: Two aircraft that are both in the desert scheme of olive drab/olive green/sand over light blue. These planes were used in Lybia's war with Chad during the 1980s.

The sheet provides sufficient markings to do one from each nation.

Eagle Strike provides insignia and stencils for one of the options. There are also the high quality nose art markings and you get two sets in case you need the additional one as these are very thin and fragile.
