Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Oh wow! Having convinced myself that there would never be another new tool Mirage F1 kit, I got a couple of Hasegawa ones and a couple of Heller ones. Looks like I'll have to get shut of them... So... can we expect some new-tool Mirage IIIs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 They look lovely ! With my favourite being the AZ, always wanted to build this variant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Oops, there goes the bank balance again, as I may need several, especially if the right decals are included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhizhou Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 What a Christmas treat, the whole F1 family, almost. They look fabulous. Thank you MPM. The F1AZ and F1B will be eagerly awaited by me. Zhi'zz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 MPM and Airfix will be making me much poorer next year - oh well, time to sell the dog! Wez 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Love Mirage F-1's! Still got loads unbuilt in the stash from Airfix, ESCI, Heller and Revell/Hasegawa + some ESCI & Italeri in 48th. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Very nice! I like Mirages! Mirage IIICJ next please! thanks Mike There are already kits for the IIIC, PJ for exemple. What we really need concerning mirage is a whole Mirage 5 family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Very nice! I like Mirages! Mirage IIICJ next please! thanks Mike Yes I like Mirages but we keep on getting the IIIC! There are already kits for the IIIC, PJ for exemple. What we really need concerning mirage is a whole Mirage 5 family. I'm with Antoine, I'd like to see a Mirage V series, then a Mirage IIIE series before the IIIC, there's so many more markings options available with the V and IIIE series. I'd buy plenty of IIIE/V series but only a couple of IIIC. Wez - who'd love to see the Mirage family moulded to this standard Edited December 17, 2013 by Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabba Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 There are already kits for the IIIC, PJ for exemple. What we really need concerning mirage is a whole Mirage 5 family. Plus a new Mirage 2000 series in 1/72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) There are already kits for the IIIC, PJ for exemple. The only modern plastic IIIC in 1./72 is the AML kit which is a pain to build. What we really need concerning mirage is a whole Mirage 5 family. PJ reboxes the HPM kit with the M5BA/Elkan nose and HPM does a few Mirage 5s. If MPM is to do another Mirage, I wish it would be a 2000.

Laurent Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Yes I like Mirages but we keep on getting the IIIC! We kept. In 1/48, I have a feeling that the situation will be a lot different in 6 months. Edited December 17, 2013 by Laurent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominikS Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Looks nice. So now it would be great to design something from the second world war. The best candidates, IMHO, are Curtiss P-36, NA Mustang with Allison engine and some Spitfires (Mk. Ib and Mk.IIb, Mk.Vc, Mk.XII and XIV). Of course each of us have different candidates. But who knows. In general I'm very pleased that the MPM started making models in "long run" technology. To check the quality I'm gonna to buy their Vampire (although I'm not into jets).

I fully know about HPM conversion (Got to get it!) While you're at it, there's also Duarte, and there must be others here and there. But I still think that there's room to spare for the Mirage 5 family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 But I still think that there's room to spare for the Mirage 5 family. I'm pretty confident that there'll be less room in a year or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomastmcc Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 COOL love to get couple of these for the SAAF ... thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruudster Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 i have not gone for the HPM Mirage line. Those panel lines just push me away. A IIIE/V/Cheeta/Kfir/etc. series would be as cool (if not more so) than this F-1 series! Mirage 2000, sure, it would be nice to have a good kit of it at some point.
