Kit's Mirage III/V

This is a GB for Heller kits and derivatives thereof - any kit, any scale, any variant, any markings. However, not everyone is allowed to build HMS Victory, so get your bids in early. Runs 12 September through 11 October and your host is TobyC.

Well this ones proving an unlucky build so far, parts missing from the kit and now the Pavla cockpit set I've just received from Hannants is missing the coaming/panel. Waiting for them to get back to me on a replacement

Bad luck kit. What parts are missing?

I'm not using the decals from mine if you need any.

thanks for the offer Toby, I'm using AM decals and I can work round the missing parts so should be ok. Main bug is Hannants supplying me with a duff set

Kudos withdrawn, part still not here yet. Looking to be a dnf. Emailed them but not holding much hope of it being here in time

That's a shame Kit. No point rushing it though, the plastic will wait.

Completely let down by Hannants. No reply to second email and no replacement part, although a decal sheet I ordered on Friday came today, go figure :roll: Not a happy bunny :evil: :frown:

So reluctantly its a DNF

The proverbial does happen. Hope you can complete it and we get to see it on the aviation thread.
