Wez Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Naturally disappointed that the more colourful Mirage IIIE versions will come after the IIIC but I've got some Adl'A schemes for the C so I will be getting the C versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) A request, Special Hobby if you have not cut metal and are still in the CAD stage can you produce the front windscreen with part of the fuselage so you do not have to worry about getting glue on he front canopy when you attach it to the fuselage. In other words something similar to the way Tamiya produced the front windscreen on their 1/48 Tomcat series. Wish every manufacturers would follow this way of doing the front windscreen on aircraft as it produces a nicer finish.

Andrés S. Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi. Great news, there is no doubt. But I have built the Mirage F.1 of Special Hobby and much bigger would have been the news if I launched Eduard ..... I have the E of PJ Productions new tooled and it looks at many nice points. It includes extras like seat in resin or ladder in photoetched. Engraved panel lines. I'm with construction. Knowing Special Hobby I do not think it's superior. If it meets the deadlines as with F.1 and says it will be available for 2019/20 then it will be available for 2021..... Greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they put Shafrir missiles in 5F boxing - why not Also I think the bang seat was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I thought that Special Hobby after its fantastic F1 was going to go for the Mirage 2000, for which you really need a new model instead of the family III / 5 that is well covered (IMHO) with the HPM / PJ and the future Modelsvit . I think it was a missed opportunity, the 2000 Heller and Italeri are full of mistakes and more than 600 were built for 12 countries, it was success assured ... Special Hobby the new Mirage 2000 is necessary already (1/72) Regards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEMPESTMK5 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Good morning I totally agree with Gremlin we need a good 1/72 Mirage 2000 family so please Mr Special Hobby while working on the Mirage III family gon on with the 2000 ..

Wez Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I agree with Gremlin that SH should bring us a new 1/72nd scale Mirage 2000, absolutely! Do I think they've missed an opportunity by working on the III/5 series first? No, absolutely not!! The SH Mirage F.1 retails for around £15 (yes I know it can be had for less but that is the average advertised price), the HPM/PJ III/5 kits are twice that price. Furthermore, my stalled HPM M5F hasn't been what I consider to be a fun build. I've seen people having "fun" with the RV IIIC kit, which is also more expensive than the SH Mirage F.1 and is covered in awful divots which are meant to simulate flush rivets. The Modelsvit kit is an unknown quantity ATM (although the renders have been shown), but looking at the retail price of their stuff at a well known UK on-line model store, their Mirage IIIE is likely to be in the £20-30 price band. SH's recent kits (Mirage F.1, Gnat/Ajeet, P-40E/N), have delighted me with their beautiful, crisp mouldings, I'm particularly looking forward to the Super Mystère they're working on ATM. The Mirage III/5 series has long been overdue a modern, mainstream, relatively easy to build range of kits in 1/72nd, there were far more made of these than the Mirage 2000, they were far more widely used so the markings options are legion! I would expect the SH Mirage III/5 to be priced at around the same price as their Mirage F.1's which is great news for me because I'd want about 30 of them - that isn't going to happen with the other manufacturers offerings. I would therefore suggest a good Mirage III/5 has far wider appeal. So in the end, I agree with Patrice, yes please SH, please bring us a Mirage 2000 series, but please bring us the Mirage III/5 first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
