Zero77 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The big problem with this kit is that i want to build at least 4 of the 6 included schemes (french desert, french blueish grey, South-Afrikan and Israeli)... And i dont even think about the forthcoming after market decal sets.... I should ask Italeri if i can take a subscription.

rafju Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks Nicolas, (mine not still in my hands...) It looks like the surface detail and panel engraving of the wings upper surface is close to a Mirage III "E" type, not from a "C" one. raf edit: is there any possibility to see the inside part of the reactor? is there corrugated surface present?

Zero77 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yes the inside of the burner can is corrugated with the tiny holes. But big issue is that we will have to deal with a seam almost impossible to fill without losing the details. I've just taken a few pictures, i'll try to upload them later, except if Kev prefer to add them in the review article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is fine, Nicolas. I can add them to the review too, if you'd like me to. Kev Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 It all looks pretty good. From the panel lines to the weapons, everything seems to be there. Look forward to getting my one. Eric. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinuheH Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Aftermarket decals are a must - those SAAF castles really need to be replaced - and as Matterhorn previously did a Swiss "C" in 48......a 32nd scale sheet should not be long in waiting.

Jasta 14 addict Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I know zip about mirages.......with a nose swap could you get a belgian Mirage V out of this kit? Would be very nice, but like Dave said, the Mirage V is in fact the fuselage and engine of a Mirage IIIE, with two extra wing stores and other nose. I hope one day whe got a decent Mirage V in 1/32 Still, i like the new Italeri Mirage IIIC. Look's like the same quality as the F-104 Starfighter, so maybe a French dessert scheme would be nice.

Zero77 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Thanks Jennings, i did not noticed it. Here are a few pictures of the inside of the burner can : And the exhaust, which will ask for a clean up : rafju 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Lundinq Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Looks like a stunning model of one of my absolute top favourites for 1/32 scale. How about the panel lines, looks like they have decided to make them more refined than on their F-104. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotsman Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I haven't got the 104, but from I understand the lines were inconsistent and shallow, nothing like that in the mirage, their clean and consistent across the whole airframe with subdued rivets, the cockpit could do with a little assistance , especially the IP, and the seat is ok , but only just ok Overall I have to say its an excellent kit Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
