Homebee Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) 1/32nd Dassault Mirage IIIO decals by Ronin Graphics Sources: https://roningraphicsaustralia.com/shop?olsPage=products%2F132-limited-edition-raaf-mirage-iii-decals-pre-order https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1674056092714949&id=570533299733906 Quote HI All. Okay I have been getting some static about doing 1/32 Mirage decals. so this what I propose. Here is a sample of the decals that I would be looking at doing in 1/32 scale. Now due to the LACK of sales of 1/32 decals in the past and the losses that it has created. This set will be a Pre order set. The pre order meaning a deposit will be taken on them, and if we get enough sales it will go ahead and the remainder will need to be paid before posting. This is a large set with a large booklet of instructions and the price will be $70.00 a set. with a $5.00 deposit required upon order.This deposit is NONE refundable if you decided to cancel your order. If the sales don't come up to the required numbers then the deposit will be refunded. If you don't like this idea then don't order. Here is a rough sample of what the decals will look like. The print run will take place in exactly 1 month from now the 8th of July all order must be in By the 1st July. V.P.

We still only have 34 confirmed pre paid orders for this set. so i have put the printing back until 1st August hoping that the final decal set images may entice more orders. Remember that this set will only be available from me and I will only print to the number ordered. This set comes with a 30+ page book just like the 1/48 sets did. So pass the word because at present it is still not a viable set. Yes there are yellows/Black intake surround decals for the 2 OCU bird. and yes there will be two sets of the data/ roundels with each set.

This is a classic case in point. When I first saw the Revell announcement, together with a price check, I immediately assumed it was merely a re-box of their original Dassault Mirage IIIE with a new decal sheet rather than the infinitely more expensive Italeri kit. There are similar traits with Hasegawa kits that also appear in Revell boxes for considerably less. Conversely, Hasegawa market ICM kits (the 1:48 MiG-25 RBT being a classic case in point) for, in some cases, double the price of the original !. Given that many modellers use aftermarket decal sheets anyway, why would you pay double or more for the basic plastic contained in the box ?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka-Efka Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Revell calculates to sell much higher volumes. Even though the markets are overlapping, Italeri wouldn't make near the money of this kit selling it thru their channels / it would take them considerable longer to get there. As these deals are time limited it disent hurt Italeri sales too much in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 Revell might have dropped the etch from its boxing. Little bits of sharp metal and cyanoacrylate glue are not child friendly. We'll know soon enough. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixII Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Pre-ordered in February, received today. Agree with tony.t very nice moulding, and for the price I got it for.......... just a smidge over £30. Thank you Jumblies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladerunner Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 There is an aftermarket option for the ejection seat as well, to replace the "couch". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Ordered two. Recieved at weekend. Thankfully, no p/e parts. They would have been binned right away as I hate p/e. Looks excellent and a bargain at £37.99!! Especially when you consider the Italeri price! Personally, I would have preferred the IIIC version to have been repackaged by Revell (cue standard cliches as to why the IIIC is a less attractive option) but, this is just fine for now.!😀😀 Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been able to find a single photo of it in that scheme. Plenty with 77 Sqn and 2 OCU though, mind you the 77 Sqn photos are post 3 Sqn converting to Hornets so it could have happened.

Can be seen here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/revellations/revell-1-32-mirage-iiie-rd-o-kit-number-03919-t4437.html Hello, There are two pictures of A3-49 in this scheme in the Mason and Mottram book http://mmpbooks.biz/shop2/?target=product&product_id=17670 But Revell decals appear to be not too faithful, the stars on the Southern Cross are positioned differently on A3-49 and the yellow on the Squadron markings should be a bit more orange. Actually, it was a 77 SQN aircraft repainted for the parade to mark 3 SQN reformation on Hornets in august 1986, and this livery was very short-lived.

Biggles81 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) So strictly speaking then not a 3 Squadron aircraft at Butterworth per the Revell blurb. My copy of Mottram and Mason is in storage in Australia so I could not check there but if it had existed then it would have been in the bible. That said I thought the Revell interpretation of the 3 Squadron markings seemed somewhat odd but in this case I think the 77 Surfins were not at the top of their game either with the stars on the rudder. It also reminds me that I should have checked Motty's website. Sure enough there it is at Williamtown (not Butterworth): and what it normally looked like: Edited October 17, 2018 by Biggles81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great in the new boxing much nicer instructions....i read the original posting too fast, i thought they had a olive/grey camo in the box. Oh well, the grey one looks good too, but was not used in butterworth? Anyways.... there is after market decals ....😂 Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B (Sc) Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Has anyone completed a build on this kit yet? I am very tempted, but rather put off by one online review which suggests that the under fuselage and nose areas have fit problems, which apparently make it hard to get the very nicely moulded windscreen and canopy to fit. Any information welcome. I still have the old Revell Mirage III from 25 years ago, so maybe could combine them ! John B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
