If the AMK Kit isn't available, I will use the veteran Hasegawa kit instead. I will be building a Sri Lankan aircraft. I will also build three Mirage F1s: a French F1B, an Ecuadorean F1E and a Gabonese F1AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning Wez Thank you but don't worry about me the Mirage III C is one of my favourite jet fighter since I saw the TV series Les Chevaliers du ciel or The Aeronauts https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Aeronauts when I was a kid in the 70s , I am also a great fan of the comic series Les Aventures de Tanguy et Laverdure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanguy_et_Laverdure I have all the Tv series on Dvd and all the books as well . When I grew up I realised that this aircraft was also an iconic plane as important in the history of aviation as the Spit the Mustang or the F 4 Phantom .. Since I started building plastic models many years ago I always wanted to build the Mirage III C but so far there is no good kit of this aircraft in 1/72 I really hope that soon Pj Prod (for example ) will produce one ..

Mountain goat Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 If the quality of Modelsvit's new Su-17M-3 is anything to go by, their forthcoming Mirage IIIE could be a winner. Reg the Kfir. Looking forward to WiPs of this good-looking kit. Should be nice. (In the middle of rationalizing the stash- won't be buying one of these after all).

Good morning Enzo Ok but don't forget that the Beau was designed , built in England and operated by the Royal Air Force I would like to see a nice Mirage III C by Airfix but I think that if Airfix keep on replacing the models of their old catalogue in the future we will see a new Mosquito before we see a Mirage III ...

As long as they recover, that's a good thing. Back in the day Heller were always one of my favourites. I still have a lot of Heller kits in The Stash. To my knowledge, Heller are the only company to have made an Etendard IVM in 1/72 - a kit that still looks good in the twenty-first century. Heller's Mirage III/5 kit is also a little gem, although the undercarriage is a teensy bit week and spindly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 From AMK's facebook page Quote **STOP PRESS** Sio from AMK here and I have an exciting proposition for you. First of all, the 1/72 Kfir will be shipped in June to all distributors who have ordered from us. We are sincerely sorry for this unavoidable delay. Second, as you guys know, the 1/72 Kfir moulds were completed a long time ago. The delay was due to the fact that our factory is very busy making some minor changes to make the kit as good as it could be. Therefore, we cannot release it until June.
