BTW, if anyone wants to do a non-Kfir Mirage like the Nesher/Dagger or M5/M50 (and maybe applicable to others), Antarki released 4-5 conversions and decals. I got the Nesher/Dagger conversion and it looks pretty nice. They are on FB. I had to message them to be sure they were selling their stuff, their messages on FB can be a little confusing

Hi,

I also bought a Mirage M5 resin conversion and the HUUUGE decal sheet from Antarki.

Very nice resin, well designed with nice details and good castings.

Howewer, the cockpit update is a bit lazy with only a front instrument panel that look a bit oversized to me. It lacks the MK10 seat and the front IP coaming.

The equipments behind the seat, on the rear bulk, need also updated parts.

So... I bought the Reskit Mk10 seat, and I started to CAD design a whole new Mirage M5 Cockpit for a Chilean Elkan. First test prints are OK, need to add all the detail now.

No pylons?  I was afraid of that from the initial renders.  Fortunately, I have the Isra sets that I can rob from.

Looks like my sets are finally moving.  Scanned at customs in Miami yesterday.

No pylons,correct

Maybe we should write them about it

Does anyone know if they're producing more of the C7 sets? I missed out on ordering the last time...

Given the fact that Hannants are listing both the C2and C7 sets as future releases, I guess the answer is yes

Got my sets today.  Our long national nightmare is over.  
 

They also included the Kfir decal sheet for the wait, which was very nice of them.

Thanks very much! I could at last order!

That's the answer about pylons:

 The pylons for the Kfir are not sold with the conversion kit, those will be sold separately, as we are still producing more weaponry for the Kfirs.

Well-the C.10 preorder is open

Aztec Models will bring soon a new Limited Production conversion for the Kfir Family, this time we'll bring the conversion kit to convert your Italeri Mirage IIIE kit into a Kfir C10.

Hmm, have to check my stash of Italeri Mirage IIIE kits.  Kfir C2, C7, and now C10.  Still want to build one as a French RD or E.

You can do what I finally did: I bought two other Mirage kits some months ago.

Man I think I will get mine from Aztec directly as they are $74 instead of $130 at Hannants.  I wonder why the huge markup??
