Silverkite Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Wez said: I've had a look at my kit which arrived today and I was wondering if they were? To my everlasting shame, I'm not really up on the major differences between an A and a P, there is a recce pod in there but what are the other differences between the two marks? As you've said, the wheels lack detail but my clear parts look acceptable enough to me. The surface detail isn't Hasegawa standard but I can live with it, a few swipes with some Micromesh should do the trick. The decals look a bit bright for my liking. Like the Heller kit it has a long join along the spine that would benefit from some reinforcement. On the whole I'm content with what I've got... ...now who makes some Mirage IV wheels 1 hour ago, Scimitar said: Not in initial release..just the basic pod for the recce role and a blanking plate for the bomb recess. I'll see what I can scrounge out from Heller AM bits and wait for a IVP then,even though this sounds kinda perverted Luigi Edited October 17, 2018 by Silverkite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking to pictures and other stuff and noticed that maybe Mirage IV drop tanks can be mounted on the Mirage 4000 as the size and panels seems to match Luigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WARDOG Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Seems like a nice improvement on the Heller kit in SOME areas! Decent-looking cockpit detail and nice CT-52 pod. I have the 1/72 Heller kit and resin accessories from Pavla for cockpit and CT-52 (wrong middle camera positions!), Model Art for the BOZ-103 E.C.M. pod and pylon, and P.J. for French pilots, with Berna Decals for a "Gascogne" bird. All that's left is to get a Master refuelling probe, the CORRECT paint colors, and a Model Art CT-52. Now that we have the A&A kit, I wish the later IVP kit will include the SERVAL E.C.M. bullets for the wing-tips and rear fuselage and the left wing pylon with the Barax E.C.M. pod. If not, I wish SOME company will make these in resin. THEN I can finally build my Mirage IV to a decently correct standard!

SpeedyGonzales Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hmmmm... Nice, but not a great improvement ove the old Heller kit. Surely better, but not enough. A new tool in 1/48th scale with finer details could have more percussions... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightningboy2000 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Has anyone else built this kit? Is it just me or is it an absolutely dire kit to build. If only the quality of the kit was as good as the artwork on the box top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only the quality of the kit was as good as the artwork on the box top. Yes, the previous boxing was proper horrible. Inconsistent panel lines, sink marks, etc. Canopy needed a good polish and dipping, literally all panel lines needed correction, rescribing. It seemed very strange, as the general impression of the kit (included PE, masks, how the sprues and instruction sheet looked, etc.) was very reminiscent of Modelsvit. But Modelsvit provide much better plastic these days. I hope this new AA model boxing will be of higher quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad fit issues & fuselage needs bracing in the middle. Overall, the Heller kit is a more pleasant build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B. Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hi, I once read the IVP project was to be New tool and was to be released under the Modelsvit name. So I was hoping for Modelsvit quality. I was like 2 years ago. Now the project remains an A&A project I just hope it's not just a development of the original IVA moulds. I once had the A&A Mirage IVA and sold the kit because I was not satisfied with it. I will wait for further development, information and reviews before moving to it.. Eric B.

The 1/48th scale version will indeed be marketed urder Modelsvit logo. However, you are right, I am also very curious about sprue shots of this new 72nd boxing before deciding what to do next.
