pvk308 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Hi guys after a bit of a hiatus I am looking to build an Aussie Mirage iii e Probably will do the beastie in all metal finish so that would be early 60s.... I have been looking at getting some after market stuff cockpit, rear of engine dress up ? maybe some wheel bay detail sets but it all seems to be listed for the old Revell kit. Is there anything out there for the itakeri kit if not has anyone used the aftermarket stuff in the Italeri kit with success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Eduard has a number of PE sets. Isracast makes an Atar 9c exhaust that can help dress up the kit nozzle. AMS resin makes MB seats and wheels. Master makes a metal nose probe. Harold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Atar 09C exhaust and MB.Mk.4 seat in resin from ScaleWorx in South Africa. I used them on my 32nd Italeri IIIE and they are good. Owner is John Weideman based in Cape Town, SA. He has a Facebook page - search on ScaleWorx.

Jasta 14 addict Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 if not has anyone used the aftermarket stuff in the Italeri kit with success As i will use my Italeri Mirage IIIE as a platform to build a Belgian Mirage VBA, i have the Fisher Mirage IIIE/O cockpit set, suitable for the Revell Mirage. Still i did not yet dry-fitted it into the Italeri fuselage. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Let me know if he does, as I chased him for some a fair while ago & think he wasn't doing anymore at that time. That was a long time ago now though, so hopefully he's doing some again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO way too many things would need modifying to make it worth the hassle...but that just me, I have gotten a bit lazy in my old age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this cockpit set from a friend of mine who had two of these for the Revell Mirage. I just needed the MK.4 ejection seat so the rest would be of no purpose.
