May just be me on my phone, but I'm just getting a question mark of doom.

3 of my favorite prop planes, of which i already had in the stash but these kits will be donating parts for other builds and i'm sure that the rest of the kits will be useful for something else.  :mellow:

Pre-ordered from a french distributor of Modelsvit kits ( it's a bit expensive though if we consider that the wings don't really sweep )

They don't?  :banghead:

That's the whole point of the Mirage Gs!!!!

I foresee some kitbashing between those Mirage kits and a Tornado or two...................
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Thank you!  :thumbsup:
Yes, i have to agree, it's a bit of a shame that they chose to make these kits like that... and i actually think that all their kits are a bit on the expensive side. Haven't built any of them but they do look good in the box and they are making lots of stuff that is rare to see in styrene and/or stuff that really needed modern toolings.
Before their kits, some of the subjects were only available in resin and most are rare and cost as much as their kits or more so, i guess these issues are minor and the prices are acceptable.
I guess that the war in their country isn't helping their production and distribution costs... :-\

I did one a while ago, went together very nicely. Remember to thin the walls of the inlet scoops, they're a bit thick.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Today a Hasegawa F-15D (K26 boxing) was handed to me by The Postie. However, it must be the first Hasegawa kit I've seen without pilots in.

And, as luck would have it, about 2 mins later I snaffled a set of Superscale Early F-15 decals on The Bay of Doom, so I shall be able to do the Air Superiority Blue scheme I mentioned recently. Win.

It will appear in due course direct from Modelsvit. This batch is a pre release for Bassin as they co-operate with Modelsvit and have also commissioned the odd project here and there.

Hence why we see so many kits of the Mirage family from modelsvit.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
