Geoff_B Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Oh thats nice an injection moulded Mirage 4000 will be tasty although in some aspects its a shame they are not going with the Mirage G VG version originally hinted at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Saw the 4000 fly at Farnbourgh, great looking plane. Really want several but prob won't be able to afford more than a couple. Hope they supply some tanks and missiles and maybe someone could whistle up some nice what-iffy decals for Sadi Arabia, Morocco, Lebanon, ROCAF & possibly even France!

Antoine Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Agree! You just forgot Iraq! With French ECM pods and Russian weapons. Or Exocet? And what about RAF? Any scenario? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhizhou Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 That is very pleasing news, but are Modelsvit still bringing to release the Mirage IIIE from an earlier announcement. It all seems to have gone very quiet on that front. I agree it would be very nice to see the G8 also. Zhizhou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhizhou Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Thanks Colossusfr, Following the IIIV-01, I have high hopes for Modelsvit's IIIE. If their plans include the Mirage 4000 and the G family and maybe a F2/F3 then us Mirage fans will be truly blessed. Patience it is then ..... cheers, Zhizhou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I confess I had to google to see what the fuss is all about & now......, guess who wants one?

Meatbox8 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I remember seeing the 4000 being put through its paces. Mighty impressive. It must have been Farnborough. Just realised how similar the fin/rudder is to the Rafale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aardvark Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 9 hours ago, Homebee said: photo-etched plate They have given the stabilizer Magic 550 photoetch, it is good. But some producers, such as Eduard for example, usually do in photoetch for convenience modeller special conductor in photoetch. Here it is necessary to do because 6х3×4 = 72 photoetch plates to the cylinder case Magic 550 need build. The task is feasible, but rather tiresome. Interestingly, what color Humbrol they to give the desert camouflage scheme Mirage 4000 in the instruction? So far on a photo, molds everything looks not bad. However, we will draw conclusions when the first appear independent building. B.R. Serge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hi Antoine, no not really, €31.95 plus post to New Zealand sounds like +/- NZ$60.00 which is well up there for a single seat fighter. I'll still probably get one but it will hurt. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
