Dave Williams Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Looks nice. Seems to be a massive amount of unused weaponry and stores. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
martinBK Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 MK4 seats are for spare parts only ; they were never fitted on F-1B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loftycomfort Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 That's a lot of parts for a very small jet. I'd expect a 1/32 kit to be this complex, but seems overkill for 1/48 single engine model, not to mention inflating the price. Of course, that's just my opinion and I am not trying to start a "I'm right you're wrong" debate. I might still get a copy because it's the only reasonable F1 two-seater out there, but I think I'll pass on the single seater when it comes out eventually and just stick with my simpler ESCI/Italeri kits.

FCM Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Is it just my eyes, or the french insignias are printed with black or dark blue dot in center? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 My big concern is that the cockpit is rather lack-luster. The 2 dimensional P/E does not seem to do it justice. Plus... WHERE IS THE THROTTLE???? Also, isn't there supposed to be more details (wiring?) on the front glare-shield? Let's hope that someone make a resin cockpit for this and the single seat version. These kits are going to need them. I wonder if the Pavla cockpit (for the ESCI/Italeri) will fit the KH single seat version (F.1C?). Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alessio Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hope it will be soon available.. Looks really nice...even if i prefer the single seat version. Regards Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Very strange parts breakdown in those sprues. Makes no sense Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squezzer Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) A lot of spare stores in the box! The instruction sheet shows the option of the 2000 liters fuel tank but the Mirage F1B was not modified to carry it. In the french inventory only the CT and the CR were.

CT/CR are/is in the pipeline so all the sprues included in the 1B will most likely be common to the CT/CR other than the two seat tub the nose and new PE detail fret.

Hoosfoos Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The CT/CR has a longer fore fuselage section than the F1C, to make up for the refuelling probe. This is also the case for the F1C -200. I wonder if the manufacturer will take this into consideration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt Spooky Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Maybe I'm wrong, but are those Durandals next the GBU-12s on the stores sprue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Maybe I'm wrong, but are those Durandals next the GBU-12s on the stores sprue? You are correct! Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt Spooky Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You are correct! Stephen May have to get a hold of them somehow then. Like to see how they look next to my scratch built ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
