this is no complication but rather a new opportunity; treat yourself ;) 

Must … resist … buying … another ….. oh, alright then, I’ve signed up on the Modelsvit website to be notified when it’s available. Beautiful box art, and peer pressure, strikes again!

The Alpha Jet was Dassault, but the Jaguar was Breguet.  When Dassault took over Breguet they realised that every sale for the Mirage F1 had twice the value to the company as every Jaguar, so the Jaguar sales team found themselves being undermined.   Guess it doesn't count for modelling, and it's all water under the bridge now.

Were the French versions ever exported?   I believe that Kuwait was in the market for them but was pressured into accepting Mirage F1s instead.

 

Ecuador, Oman and India operated Jaguars but they were all Jaguar Internationals and their sales resulted from the BAe sales team.

Santa brought me a Modelsvit Mirage 2000C and the Special Hobby double boxing of the Super Mystere so they're definitely on the build list. I hadn't thought the Alpha Jet would count either, so that's also a possibility (I've got a Wingman boxing of the Kinetic kit, although being a Kinetic kit there's a good chance it'll annoy me until I put it on the shelf of doom. Me and Kinetic don't really get along for some reason). And then there's the Flamant that's been sitting in the stash for a bit too long.

Good morning Zebra

 I must admit that I don't know Kinetic Alpha jet but I think that you will enjoy more the Modelsvit Mirage 2000C and the Special Hobby SMB2 ..

See you soon for the beginning of this GB...

Best Regards

Patrice

Join me up for this group build please.

I've got one of the Valom Ouragan's to start. Might have something else in the stash if I rummage around a bit.

Having finished a Super Étendard a few days ago,  I am really inspired to build more Dassaults.  So I am in for this one, with one of all of the Mirage IIIs in my stash.
