Homebee Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Source: https://www.facebook.com/wingmanmodels/posts/954461891407202 Quote Dear friends and fellow model makers! Again we will be attending Scale Modelworld at Telford/UK on November 10 and 11 of this year. As usuall we are looking very much forward to seeing you in person. One of our high-lights is the re-release of our long sold-out kits WMK48001 Latin American Kfir and WMK480014 Belgian Mirage 5BA/BR, both in 1/48 scale. We revised the cockpit section of the Kfir by dividing it into two pieces (cockpit tub and separate front landing gear bay). In addition we reworked the nose and included PE-parts for the small fences on either sides of it. For the Belgian Mirage kit we reworked the tail and added the little airscoop for the ATAR 9 engine, which is located on the left side of the exhaust area just behind the wing. This was missing from our first release! (...) We will be loacted at the back end of Hall 2, just behind te trade stands of Zoukei Mura and of Revell.

Jon Bryon Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I just wish Kinetic would release a Mirage 5. I cannot justify the Wingman prices, and I want a French one anyway. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jon Bryon said: I cannot justify the Wingman prices, and I want a French one anyway. Er the Kinetic LatAm boxing allows you to buid a 5F. You just need decals. Edited October 20, 2018 by Laurent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Bryon Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Yep, but as far as I can tell, the only decals available are from Wingman and cost about 20 Euro...in which case the cost is about the same as buying the Wingman kit. I just want a vanilla Mirage 5 for under £40 all in Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka-Efka Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Well, WMM #48015 would be a nice French 5F Kit. But contains also a lot of resin, so I bet it usually is above £40. But may be you are lucky. Got mine for about €50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
