azzaob Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Just came across this post on ARC: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=274520 Seems to have taken most by surprise and will mean, once the High Planes Mirage is released, there will be two new 48th scale IIIEs available. Long overdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 At this rate I'll be too busy working overtime to build anything.... I'll cope. What a fantastic year 2014 has been so far and looks like more of the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisov Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Excellent news, now just need the cash for this and others already mentioned. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhizhou Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Please let it be true, a IIIE and better still the IIIR to use the Berna decals on. Its gonna be a great summer I just know it. Some cannards to do the late Brazillian IIIEBR would be a great treat too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) In the pictures I see parts for Mirage IIIE/O/S/R/RD/RS and 5F. I think we can expect some more versions by the German Kinetic partner: Wingman Model. Wait and see. V.P. Edited March 11, 2016 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianm2 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Nice one. I`ve been waiting for a new tooling of the Mirage IIIe in 48th for years. Many have made promises but no one has delivered. Lets hope to see it available soon. Thanks for the info. Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 looking forward to it... 1 Mirage kit more in the stash cannot hurt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) So typical, for years and years I was a Mirage obsessive, bought every decal, kit, book; you name it I probably had it. Now, I've totally lost all interest in them (and all things military) sold every one of those decal sheets, kits, books etc..and look what happens!!! Can't win. If I was still interested though, I'd be clearing my bench in anticipation and tripling my stash!!! After posting this I looked at my avatar again - a beautiful Mirage 2000!!!! Ahh, those were the days... Edited April 15, 2014 by pinky coffeeboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigsty Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I thought Avant Garde was supposed to be doing a Mirage III family as well. Is this instead of that, or on top of it, or something else entirely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisov Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Lets hope they spread their sights a little further in the fullness of time and indulge us with the Cheetah and others. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris It would be nice but i suspect the Cheetahs are just too niche for mainstream injection moulded. But at least with modern Kfir and IIIE kits converting to a Cheetah wont be such a chore.

coneheadff Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Maybe the Cheetah wasn't built in big numbers, but look what they are producing next...F-16XL!?!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacks VF-102 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Wow these kits are coming thick and fast these days - great news though at long last we can have a Belgian AF VBR & VBA hell yeah Belgian Mirage V would be very welcome. there goes the plan to downsize the stash...

Tiger331 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Maybe the Cheetah wasn't built in big numbers, but look what they are producing next...F-16XL!?!?!? Exactly.....what a waste of valuable resources.....time and plastic....far better to produce kits of those aircraft that have actually entered service and made a significant contribution to the history of aviation.

Truro Model Builder Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I suspect that if Kinetic don't do a Cheetah, there will be a resin conversion set out before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Four versions in one box: Mirage IIIE/O/R/RD - ref.48050 Source: https://www.facebook.com/Kineticmodel/photos/a.150625411771245.1073741825.129238860576567/356105184556599/?type=1&theater Here is the box art for the upcoming 48050 Mirage IIIE/O/R/RD release, had to go through a couple of adjustments before release. We are in the final revisions from the second test shot. They are working on our notes now, once this is completed and another check is completed we will polish the mold and move toward release. The boxes and decal will be printed in mid-November, so this one is getting closer and closer, we still expect to have this "on shelf" next month! V.P.
