    Yes, there are extra intakes straddling the spine and two at the rear also. As Giorgio says, the intake splitter plates were different too.

    Thanks, too, Giorgio. We have a plan

    Hi all, I am nervously putting out there my desire - and that is all at this stage - to build a Mirage IIIEBR or IIIEA using the Modelsvit kit. I hit the "buy" button earlier today for two Modelsvt boxings. What have I done 😟!!!! I know Enzo will want me to build both but, for me, just one off the blocks would be something! I seem to have acquired a liking for French deltas!!!! Martin

    PJ are in negotiations - which might be complete by now - so that their previous offering of products will be marketed by another globally known provider. I know who etc but for the sake of their business confidences I’m not saying who. You might be able to guess, of course. Martin

    Thanks chaps. The extra intakes seem logical. I will remain open to the idea. I have plenty of time. Martin

    Hi all, A future project and therefore questions as I am not a Mirage expert at all. I want to build a Chilean Mirage 50FC in 1/72. My challenge relates to available/appropriate kits and their adaptation. As far as I can see, PJ produced various Mirage deltas and this included the Dagger, Finger, etc. They offered a Mirage 5. Is this the best way to get the right aircraft in kit form, or at least a basis for conversion? My other thought is using a HPM Mirage 5 Aida II nose (rounded off) with the Modelsvit Mirage IIIEA/BR. I would need to fit an upgraded Atar too. Would that give more detail? I would appreciate any guidance that anyone can offer. Thanks. Martin

    I’m with you on that, mate. I have four new F-51Ds in a pile here and really want an alternative stencil decal set for each build. My brief try of the decals on my SH F-84F convinced me that they are better as bin filling.

    Each to their own, mate ;). Good luck with your new set up. It seems to work for you Martin

    What metallics did you use here?
  12. RidgeRunner
    Ah! Well, cut off my arm and you’ll see Nikon running right through it ;).

    Hi SJ, I'm new to acrylics and Vallejo Model Air. I recently got such paint on my Kfir and I had varying degrees of clogging. To mitigate this I kept a milk bottle top of Vallejo thinner nearby and a clean brush. I occasionally brushed some thinner over the airbrush nozzle and that kept it clear, mostly. I did find, though, that over time, and a few applications, that I was getting "blow back" - my naming for spattering of paint. I'm still learning as it isn't like enamels but it sure smells better!!!! :). I did also use some Lifecolor and that went on without incident. M

    I often think I'll do that, Terry, but ..........

    That is very, very smart, SJ
