What do we can expect ? Bets are open.

 

My dreams - 1/48: SO.4050 Vautour II, Mystère IV, MD.450 Ouragan, Saab J-21R, Bristol Brigand, Supermarine Swift FR.5 etc.

Still no Mirages? :( 


They seem to be a mirage- but in the lowercase sense of the word unfortunately.


I’d be keen for a couple of the variants Modelsvit didn’t do. 5, R, those canardy ones etc.

You and me both! I was finally able to source a Hi-Tech/Fonderie Miniatures Vautour for something less than an arm and a leg, but a new kit is sorely needed.

I repeatedly asked Mr.Riedel about the Mirage line. He said they are even considering exotic variants like Pantera, etc., but only as multimedia kits with version specific parts such as canards, different noses, IFR probes provided as 3D prints or resin. But this was more than 2 years ago. Ever since the war in Ukraine started, his only response to the Mirage topic is that everything is uncertain and they are 'waiting for their Ukrainian partners" / tooling company. So, I wouldn't expect a lot this year as far as MIII is concerned.

 

Having said that, he also hinted at more Mirage F.1 boxings, since this kit is one of their best sellers. Particularly he mentioned looking into special Tigermeet markings for a future release. Whether it will be this year is unclear.

 

Concerning Modelsvit Mirages, the line should have continued with IAI Dagger and Atlas Cheetah, but they stopped after MIIIO. As far as I know, they never announced Mirage 5 variants. I do plan to look for a Modelsvit rep this year at Moson and interrogate them on the topic. 🤣

I think for both ModelSvit and Special Hobby the turning point for continuation of Mirage series is the end to active military actions in Ukraine. Nesher is what I get from any of SH or MS whoever is the first to release it.

I want four or five IIIEs, same for the III/ 5R, and three Belgian Mirage 5s. I'd already be happy if only one of these versions came out.

 

The last Special Hobby product I bought was the IIIC. Lovely kit. Now please for the 'mature' delta Mirages.

I heavily suspect Sword will be faster than SH to finally bring wide body Skyraiders. But definitely not before I spend much more time on the A&A kitastrophy.

I don't think to be in wrong if I say DH Mosquito is the only real new tool among that batch ( considering only aircraft).

Unless they have improved something in the kit you might be better off trying to get hold of an earlier boxing, unless of course you prefer the print quality of Eduard's modern decals.
