Sebastijan Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If anyone's interested in this interesting aircraft, here's my review of a recently released Modelsvit kit in 1:72 https://vvsmodelling.com/2018/03/24/modelsvit-172-mirage-4000/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizar Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Going to give some cons but I can understand that probably they didn't had access to them: Stores are just missiles,there are some pics showing Mirage 2000-like fuselage stores with bombs,a pod and some other AA missiles It carried drop tanks which where roughly the same ones used on the Mirage IVP if not the same ones,but since France AF loved to create a drop tank nightmare maybe and I think maybe there were some differences in the ventilation openings Everything else seems to be fine,mine arrived a week ago and I'm going to enjoy the build ^^ Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, there are pics of them carrying fuel tanks and some pods, but it was a prototype afterall. Con would be fixing those PE fins to the missile bodies I guess without any alignement tool.

mingwin Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 the only cons i see is that's a 1/72 kit! i just hope someday someone come up with a 1/48 one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No problems with that,I'm going to use PJ resin missiles and scratch/steal whatever is amiss ^^ Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
