Brave new world. Shocking, sad, and scary.

Thanks for the info!

The brand new 1/48 kit.

Is anyone aware of what the differences are between a Tornado GR1 and IDS? Are the parts for the GR1 in the box but not used? I guess there would be different weapons for the British Tornado also...

What's the difference between the 2nd nose from the top and the nose you see on the bottom? One is obviously the Mirage IIIE/A/O nose but is there any difference between the two?

Particularly the 5BA and the 5F.

Can anyone identify the parts needed to produce an accurate Mirage 5, and if any of these parts are in the box?

I wouldn't pay any more than that.

It's the old Esci kit, as far as I know. Recessed panel lines, pretty accurate in shape, but lacking detail, especially in the cockpit - decals only for the instrument panels and side consoles. A good kit for its time but not the best.

Got mine in the mail today, but there is a problem in the instructions. There are steps in the build that pertain to the IIIRD, as well as decals, but there is no painting/marking guide for the IIIRD. Instead there are duplicate instructions for the Aluminum finished IIIE. I am wondering if someone else with the kit has the same misprint in their instructions, if not could someone possibly scan the instruction guide for the markings for the IIIRD, and email them to me? Thanks

Mission Mark decals have told me that they are planning a set of decals for this kit also. Does anyone know about any other decals in the pipeline?

Just received this reply from them via FB: Hi, We are still operating, and thank you for supporting us! We were a bit slow, but should be faster then.

I've PM'd them on Facebook.

2 out of three of their releases have been torpedoed by Kinetic. I bought 2 Kfirs from AMK because I wanted to support the company.

There's no update on their FB page since July, two decent releases to date but their Fouga Magister project seems to be stalled.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Thanks, guys. Wow, what a lot of potential in this kit. I've already ordered 2 of many.
