Gosh, a bargain, only £470! 

Only GBP376 if I buy it   

That's 'cos you don't have to pay our VAT, but I guess your Customs may charge you duty etc.

Yeah, 20% less for us but you're right, there will be some duty to pay that's for sure.  Most expensive kit I've bought so far is the Blackbird (formerly Delta Aviation, formerly ID Models) 1/72 C-5 Galaxy, with postage it cost me just over C$300 and that was back 15 years ago. The Combat Models C-5 I got was a C$100 cheaper.

Probably just machine translation, most likely it simply means that the wings are detachable after assembly.

Modelsvit are re-releasing the Mirage 4000 as a bomb truck variant with extra sprues including drop tanks, laser guided bombs and tracking pod. Probably get at least one to go with my three fighter ones.

Hannants have the 225 in their New Arrivals. It's not the £521.99 price tag that throws me as much as they have 5+ in stock ?

They expect to sell 5 to 9 ? 

I'll bet they're not on the usual Modelsvit shelves there, the box will be WAY too long! 

Mirage  2000 c in 72nd scale  has just been released.

Modelsvit have just announced on Facebook 3 new kits for this summer.
https://www.facebook.com/1854784001457309/posts/2954985561437142/

1/72
Mirage IIICJ
3 Israeli schemes, 1 South Africa and 1 Argentina.

Mirage IIIO
Lots of Australian choice here, 3 Camo and 2 Grey schemes.

In 1/48 a Yak-9D or Yak-9O, hard to tell from the box font.

Saw the two Mirage kits and will end up getting at least one of each.

Modelsvit are currently working on a 1/72nd Mirage G8-01 (swing-wings, two engines, two seats) and have just released test shots:

If they go on to do the single-seat version (as looks likely from the parts breakdown), it'll be a case of:

I looked at Hannants website. They have the Mirage G8-02 listed in Future Releases as 72057. The photo is of the single seat version.
The difference between the 2 aircraft is that the rear cockpit was covered over and used for avionics.

Over on Britmodeller it seems these should be out for September

I think there was more to it than that, despite what French Secret Projects 1 says. Looking at photos, it seems to me that the G8-02's single cockpit was slightly further back than the -01's front cockpit, and the -02 definitely had a longer and slimmer nose in front of the cockpit.

It's got a distinct MiG 23 feel to it.
