gingerbob Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi Enzo, I'm not on the list- I think I was a bit non-committal, but now I see it starts in June, so count me in with the Mirage III NG! Also, you might want to update post #1 to give the start date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The GB is a couple of months away which means there's still time to do a bit of research, raid the stash, get the right decals and even the AMK 1/72nd Kfir to turn up. In the meantime for inspiration, take a look at Habu12's Mirage 2000 in RFI here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Mine arrived today and in just a look through it is brilliant, even if most of the writing is in French. Plenty of colour schemes, and differences between variants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Likewise, mine too arrived today, very impressed, I particularly like the section which shows the differences between the various customers sub variants - who knew there's so many little subtleties to catch us all out? Very good value, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I was already tempted when I saw Patrice's link, now after reading the opinions here I've also ordered the book, looking forward to receiving this. Not surprised if it's a good product, I hold the French specialised press in very high regard, the various hors-series from Avions for example are excellent and a number of publishers have issued some fantastic books. As this same morning I've also ordered an RV Mirage III-E, I'd say that this GB is responsible for more and more dents in my bank account... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios16v Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I broke down and snagged the Wingman Belgian Mirage kit on sale last week. Unbeknownst to me at the time, it includes options for a recon variant (Mirage 5BR)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair it does mention the MB.6 and the pesky AN/ALR-66 in a caption on page 29 (although it doesn't show the antenna). No mention of the FDR, that is too subtle a difference Good spot though! 2 hours ago, helios16v said: I broke down and snagged the Wingman Belgian Mirage kit on sale last week.

No mention of the FDR, that is too subtle a difference Yes, about Mirage F1CG, the only missing point is this access panel. And it is not necessary to show AN/ALR-66's antennas, they are the same as those of BF, the difference is just the color, black instead of grey ! here, you can see the difference : Morocco used BF first and then changed its RWR by AN/ALR-66, the same chosen by HAF and you can see on the picture Mirage F1EH on the foreground already equipped with AN/ALR-66 and its black antennas and on the second Mirage F1 the grey antennas of BF not changed yet. All this before Astrac upgrade program... http://claudinedelaplace.free.fr/Avions/maroc/maroc-f1/F1 MAROCO.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking of having a go at the Milan but I doubt I could get it done in time, maybe a IIIS/RS or Iraqi Exocet Mirage instead! edit, in fact I still don't know what to do, too many good subjects!

Hardtarget Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi Guys, does a Dagger/Nesher count for a Mirage DB as a drivative of the III? Just aquired a couple from coli (freightdogs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardtarget Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Awesome count me in for both the High Planes kits. I may push to a third being the Mirage III OM RAAF kite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
