Special Hobby has been pretty blatant in calling out the dual combo pack in their advertising. I would tend to agree that this is probably just a single kit, but the box art depicts the two different versions that can be built with the parts inside. I'm curious if there will be any resin to account for some of the aircraft differences, or if we'll see a small additional sprue like with the F.1CR. Either way, I'm getting one, maybe two of them. This is the kit I've wanted most since the new tool F.1 was announced those years ago. Cheers, Hoops 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Hoops That's it and they have done this with several of their single boxings and they have already done a dual boxing of the F.1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Having had the test shot in my hands in 2014, I can tell there had additionnal sprue with A version nose cone. So, if their plans didn't change since, no resin ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm not sure, at that time l remember I made a comment about the shock cone, but I don't know if they did something about that. Indeed, SAAF Mirage F1s share the same biconical shaped "mice" than Mirage 2000's one in order to reach Mach 2,3 and be able to face Angolan MiG-23s... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't built this kit yet but having a look at it I would suggest getting some replacement wheels for it as the ones in the kit seem to be way too small in diameter. Not the tyres, just the wheels making them look odd compared to the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 One to look forward to! The modification to the intake shock cones might be a little tricky, though. That's potentially going to be a pest to tidy up. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, I guess it depends how good a fit the resin part is - if it's good it shouldn't be too much of a problem as the join falls on a panel line anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN-KEH Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I would like to see one in Draken colours They are one of the main Mirage F.1 users at the moment - https://theaviationist.com/2021/05/25/draken-mirage-f1-crash/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 In the meantime, I added this to the Stash. Decals and resin looks good, the enlarged intake cones look pretty doable ( at least compared to the RWR panel for the vertical tail, which is quite thin). There is a prominent mold ridge on both fuselages though, almost as if the insert for the singleseat portion wasn't aligned properly. That will take some sorting out.
