I shall have to have a bash at this GB - I've been a fan of the IIIC since I was a little kid. My problem is which one, I have everything from a 1/100 Revell through to the 1/32 Revell beastie, by way of 1/72 Airfix, 1/48 Italeri as well as the 1/48 Italeri Kfir C7. It is a shame in some respects that the GB is limited to the IIIC as I have the Heller Mirage IV in both 1/72 and 1/48 as well in the stash.
OK, I think I am leaning towards the Kfir, with a 1/100 IIIC chaser if time permits.
Cheers

Welcome abourd with anything you have. The GB is not limited to the Mirage IIIC, it is any 'Derivative' of the Mirage III. I think the final list we agreed on was:

Mirage III
Mirage IV
Mirage 5
Mirage 50
Nesher
Kfir
Cheetah
Pantera
Mirage 2000
Mirage 4000

And I am always open to further suggestions.

So get signed up.

I am starting slightly later than planned and although I intended to get the Airfix III to build in early guise I have not yet got hold of one so will go for a PM models Mirage/Dagger kit from the stash, this will be built in Dagger guise and work will begin over the coming weekend. I will open the thread with the usual box and sprue shots at some point before then.

the PM one seems popular for such a dreadful kit...

[mattbacon]

Anyone trying the AML kits? I gather that their "Mirage IIIC in Foreign Service" boxing (retooled from the earlier ones) is the best 1/72 Mirage on the market at the moment... though it's quite hard to find, it seems!

Beautiful box art and very cheap seems to have fooled a lot of us.

What colour inside the intakes of a 1970s Mirage 5? White? Grey? Silver? Metal? Camo?

I've seen pics of a few where it looks white in there.

Anybody know, please?

Only 5 days left guys and not too many completions as yet - myself included

Does anyone need an extension?

[Chris]

That is why i only did one OT, I had the Thud on tap and my arthritis has been hell the last week with all the cold we are having here.

[PaulBradley]

Well, thanks for modding, OT! And my apologies for not quite getting mine finished, despite the extension....
