Dassault Mirage III Built in 1.5:1 Scale
The Dassault Mirage III is a family of single/dual-seat, single-engine, fighter aircraft developed and manufactured by French aircraft company Dassault Aviation. It was the first Western European combat aircraft to exceed Mach 2 in horizontal flight, a feat which was achieved on 24 October 1958, the English Electric Lightning achieving it on 25 November 1958.

Important Information
Use //paste -e when spawning the Schem file into your Minecraft world to make sure item frames are placed.

The Schem file provided acts as a library for each variant of the Mirage III, so I highly recommend spawning it into a separate world first, from there you can choose which variant you want and what arrangement you want it in. The file consists of 28 aircraft in groups of 4, in each group of four there will be different arrangements for the variant, e.g. Unarmed/Gear In, Armed/Gear In, Unarmed/Gear Out, and Armed/Gear Out.

Using Worldedit the chosen aircraft can be saved and then transported to where you need it. Make sure when you do this you use //copy -e in order to save the item frames present, and use //paste -e to place it in.

I do not permit the reposting of my builds, and make sure you give credit where credit is due.

Carpet Troubles
Once you have spawned the file into your Minecraft world you will notice that some of the carpet on the aircrafts' wings are missing, this happens at random when a file is placed. To fix this all you need to do is manually replace the carpet, use the pictures below to guide you.
