chrisov Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Nice, very nice, and just as I found by 'up north' scribing template for the Heller 1/48 model! And for all the references dont forget there is a full size one in the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, Mirage III too. Hope the wait is not too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filler Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Great news, even if I’d only recently bought the Heller kit plus decals and scribing set and exhausts and probe. At least I hadn’t bought the NeoMega cockpit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudikoff Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Oh, that's pretty cool. Was hoping for a new tool Mirage IV in 1/48. Is this Modelsvit's first model kit of a jet in 1/48? Hopefully they could do some of the Soviet/Russian stuff in 1/48 that is still not tackled (Kitty Hawk promised quite a few but burned out before they've gotten to it). Sorry, have to mention that a kit of a Yak-41 in 1/48 would be great Edited September 5, 2021 by Dudikoff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 The Mirage IVA is a beautiful airplane and I suspect this kit will sell very well. I'm surprised they don't appear to include the ASMP cruise missile in the kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Scalemates it was released as a 1/48 kit when it was released for the first time in 1979. However, according to them there is also a 1/50 Mirage IV that was released back in 1963. But I think this is two different kits, the one that I have looks more like a 70s model than one from the early 60s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.sin Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 How are the Modelsvit kit? I see they have nice details, but how is the fit? Are they still considered short run kit's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Great to see this in the ‘big boys’ scale, wonderful news, well done MV. I also have the 1/48th Heller kit but never got around to acquiring any aftermarket for it....just as well. True Bjorn, Heller first released a 1/50th IV (marketed as IV-01) back in 1964, well before releasing the 1/48th version in 1979. B.sin, yes they’re still to be considered as short run kits but the quality has improved greatly over the last few years. I’ve built several now and not found any major problems that can’t be sorted out with patience and some modest modelling skills. Well worth investing in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A&A kit is a re-worked Heller with engraved lines and the Parts for the IV P included. However no ASMP ans the fit is supposed to be challenging. Though Modelsvits 1/72nd Mirage 2000 C earned a lot of praise, lately so I hope they issue a 2000N soon (with the ASMP and the RPL-541/542 Tanks just like the Heller Kit).

Yes, but that is a horrible kit. Very poor tooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsolo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Great news! This could be my first Modelsvit kit. I hope they follow with a Mirage 4000 in 1/48. Jsolo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still considered short run kit's? The latest I got are their 1/48 P-51H Mustang and XP-54 Ascender : both are exquisite in terms of recessed details, overall detailing and moulding quality. Consider them still short run but modern and high quality short run. The leap in overall quality and ease of assembly vs their 1/72 Be-12 is immense.

71chally Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Love the Mirage IV and Modelsvit kits, so can't wait for this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The level of detail Modelsvit is incorporating into their kits is simply amazing, perhaps the best on the planet right now. Just my opinion, but the kits I have are on another level of quality. I think Eduard and Modelsvit are the leaders of the pack right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
