Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 8 minutes ago, TEMPESTMK5 said: I think that their Mirage F1 is a huge success because there is no competitor There is no modern competitor. The Heller, Airfix and Hasegawa offerings are still available and make up into nice models but why would anyone buy them when they are the same price as the SH kits? The SH is a thoroughly modern mould while the others are all around forty years old. But if we really want something for SH to produce which truly has no competitor then we should look no futher than the Mirage 2000 family. Both the Heller and Italeri kits are grossly inaccurate. There is a huge range of markings that could be produced for a 2000 meaning lots of different boxings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree I should have said that there is no ''modern'' competitor to the SH Mirage F-1 .. Hopefully we will soon be able to see both Modelsvit and SH Mirage III and make our own opinion about which one is the best ... And maybe one day SH will also produce a modern Mirage 2000 ? But right now the only ''modern'' option will be the Modelsit kit available in a few weeks I have preordered one (for the moment) and I will try to build it for the French Fancy GB ...

Wez Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I too have pre-ordered the Modelsvit Mirage 2000, albeit with some trepidation as I'm not a fan of having rivets depicted as divots, hopefully they will have avoided the temptation with the M2000. In the Mirage III/5 thread, Pter, when asked, said they would be looking at the M2000 series in the future which, if it comes to fruition, will be good news as I can buy 2 SH kits for slightly more than one Modelsvit kit. I live in hope this comes to pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
