I may be wrong, and I can't find anything to back me up at the moment, but Tarangus does not have their own facilities to either make molds or inject kits, so they are sourced to other companies, like Special Hobby in the case of the various Viggen; very much like their collaborations with Azur-Frrom.

hello !

@ DrakeĀ 

the SH Viggen is not a SH molds, it's a Tarangus one, a short run product.

I think the next SH Mirage III will look like their Mirage F1, easy to build...

I'm pretty sure SH owns the Viggen moulds, even though that particular kit was a collaboration with Tarangus.

I would not call the SH/Tarangus Viggen a short-run kit. It is moulded veryĀ  much in line with their Mirage F.1, Gnats and he-162 to name a few.

Ā 

The Tarangus J29F and J32 are short run kits, I'm guessing made by Sword (the sprues and plastic are very reminiscent of Sword kits, and that is what I'm basing my assumption on)

Furthermore, these markings offered on the first SH Mirage seems quite boring to me. I know they are historically significant, but it's all the same color basically. I am more looking forward to the exotic III/V variants used by small air forces all around the world (if SH ever do those) - including Rose, Pantera, Israeli recce noce Tsiunt conversions, Atlas Cheetah, etc..

Ā 

Iā€™m with you completely. Iā€™ll celebrate the day that the kit manufacturers decide to look more widely at the opportunities for attractive colour schemes ;).Ā

What constitutes an "attractive colour scheme" is indeed a highly subjective matter; the current selection is already very attractive to meĀ given my interests.Ā

True, but then I wasnā€™t aiming my thoughts at you. Iā€™d just appreciate some broader thinking by the manufacturers when choosing subjects.Ā 

Ā 

Anyway, thatā€™s enough of my ramblings. This isnā€™t the place.

Ā 

The IIIC is my least favourite version and the schemes on offer are a big yawn for me, fortunately I have plenty of decals for Adl'A machines to not worry about it.

You and me are singing from the same hymn sheet on that Martin.

Panel lines looks very fine. Much finer than their previous Mirage F.1.

Ā 

The panel lines are looking good, I'm also really very pleased they avoided the temptation to cover it in divots, panel lines exist on real aircraft, massive divots where rivets go don't, in fact the holes one of the Riggers were plugging with rivets on an aircraft at work today wouldn't even show up in that scale.

Ā 

I'm very pleased with what I see, can I have mine now please?

Me too, mate, although they do look best in French cockades :)

Does anyone know if the kit comes with the exhaust used in the MIIICJs of the Fuerza AĆ©rea Argentina?

Ā 

Yes, the Atar 9C exhaust is on the third sprue picture, under the starboard side tail fin.

The sprue gate located at the cutout for the nav lights on the upper wings (by the looks of it) is a nifty idea. That seems to prevent some awkward cleanup work.

Ā 

Bring them on, says I!

Ā 

Cheers,

Hadn't noticed that, clever move!
