Vlamgat9 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) It is about time someone did a modern kit of the IIIE. I find it bizarre no major manufacturer has done it given the number of countries that used it and all the conversions that spin off it like the 5, the 50, pantera, cheetah etc. Edited December 29, 2013 by Vlamgat9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhizhou Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Thanks for sharing this piece of welcome news Homebee! Now if PJ Production scale up thier resin sets, we might also see the IIIR/RD and also the Swiss Mirage family as well. I hope the IIIBE/IIID is also in the pipeline, Roll on the arrival of the IIIE/O. 2014 could be another expensive year for us Mirage fans.

pacificmustang Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Finally!!!!!! The extra time taken in developing the 48 scale version is looking like it will pay off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Glad someone's continuing with the IIIE, Pilot Wings seem to have cancelled the Mirage IIIE/5 and Kfir series they announced. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I dont want to pour cold water on things however i have seen their 1/72 offering and to be frank did not think it was up to the standard of say the latest Airfix kits in the same scale , it looked pretty basic and was lacking finesse in my opinion especially in the panel line department, overall detail was good as were decal options , it was not cheap around $40 locally i think , However having said all of that i am very keen to be pleasantly surprised and i hope Bruce is correct and if so i for one will be in line to buy a few as it is one of my favourite all time Aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I agree the 1/72 kit was a bit chunky but IIRC it was their first injection moulded kit. Hopefully this will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
