discus Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Got me this: the ultimate book on the mighty Mirage IV. It is sold out since years and if you look for it on some famous auction sites, prices can go really high... Hopefully I managed to get it for a reasonable price.

Very sleek and sharp, makes the F-104 Starfighter look rather overweight from this angle Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Danny, I would be interested in your experience removing the "sprues" from those figures. I hope these include a slight narrowing of the material on the surface of the figure part. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discus Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 22 hours ago, Out2gtcha said: Now wouldn't that make a spectacular 1/32nd model! Agreed. That's already a nice beast in 1/48... quite the same size as a F-14 or F-15. I'd love to have one in 1/32. In France we are not used to the big fat fighters. Mirage 2000 or Rafale are comparable to a F-16. So the Mirage IV was a big plane for us. The one on your pict' is the first prototype with the big NLG wheels. The serial A/C had smaller wheels on the NLG and the refueling probe on the nose instead of the long pitot tube. I remember seeing one taking-off with JATOs during an airshow when I was a kid. What a sight (and noise, and smoke !!!) Rick Griewski and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I dont think there is a review of the TF on LSP yet, so I'll see about putting a review up soon. I've not seen the single seater kit before, but this kit has some OUTSTANDING looking plastic and panel lines. scvrobeson, LSP_K2 and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
