72scaler Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Looking great! And the choice of subject is very interesting too. If you guys go for the french jets you should consider a Mirage 2000 to! The 1/72 Mirage 2000 out there aren't up to date anymore. Keep up the very good work and Happy New Year Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berkut Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Detail and panellines looks excellent. Is it still possible to adjust some of the sprue gates a little? The thin part *looks* to be on a short side against fuselage and nose for example. Easier to remove parts without damage if the thin parts are a bit longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bad edd Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Great! Please do not forget the special "souris" on the SAAF F1AZ. The intake cones are longer on that version. the classic intake cone : The F1AZ: Edited January 8, 2014 by bad edd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozef Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Seems I am going to donate my venerable Heller kit to some kids´club. Good job MPM Jozef Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petr@mpm Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 To Bad Edd and other modellers: thanks a lot for your notes about the Mirage differences. We will pay attention to all these and the model will hopefuly be okay. And now, I am really happy to present first two boxarts here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Enough with the sprue shots and box arts. Just tell us where to send the money, okay? B) ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
musangpulut Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Enough with the sprue shots and box arts. Just tell us when the 1/48 version will be out, okay? B) ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Great! Please do not forget the special "souris" on the SAAF F1AZ. The intake cones are longer on that version. Not only that. The AZ/CZ have chaff/flares dispensers imbedded to the "keels"/underfuselage empenage/whatever you call them. Does someone (Pierre Sacha perhaps ?) have photos of the thingies with the decoy cartridges in place ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madcop Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 O.K. Laurent , I see now If this can help ... maybe http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/901-1000/Fea944_MirageF1AZ_Reid/00.shtm Thanks Madcop :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 There's http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/901-1000/Fea944_MirageF1AZ_Reid/09.jpg but a real reference would be better than a resin conversion set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) Ok. Thanks to the great help of a friend, I understand better the decoy system of AZ/CZ versions. It was called RIMS (Radar and Infra-red Misleading System). The following link is interesting as you can see the location of the components of the RIMS in the diagram (towards the end of the page) and you can read that the wing ones have been removed: http://www.sa-transp...af_service.html Here's a shot of a wing dispenser: http://i599.photobuc...04-0005-800.jpg Here's a shot showing more or less the remaining wing dispenser attachement points: http://ic.pics.livej...09_original.jpg Edited January 10, 2014 by Laurent Quote Link to post Share on other sites

72scaler Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Are there any news about the new F.1s? Regards Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This is the response from MPM when I asked about the status on the Mirage F.1s on the 72 scale forum.... Hi all,So sorry about keeping you waiting. The Mirage hasn´t been finished yet and most probably won´t be until the end of this year. Our mouldmakers are still busy with improving the Mirage moulds and correcting all fit-imperfections so that the model can be as nice and easy to build as possible. But I am sure you understand that the Mirage F.1 is not as simple (shapes, number of parts etc) model as our other news (Gnat, Fouga...) and that is why it also takes much more time than those other projects. Be sure I will inform you here about any news regarding this project. Best wishes Petr@MPM They're on the way..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
