WANTED!! 1/72nd scale Mirage or Rafale IFR probes.

chrisonord · September 10, 2017, 06:50:44 AM

I have been rebuilding and displaying my mirage/Rafale collection, and found that some are missing their IFR probs

I have checked the bits boxes but to no avail. Does anyone have any of these they can donate to my cause please? I will need a few looking at it unfortunately. I have looked for aftermarket resin ones but nothing (as per) comes up on Google.
Cheers,
Chris.

Best that I can suggest is looking on Scalemates and Hannants to see what they say had been produced.

Cheers Gondor,
If all else fails, I will have to have the planes supplied without IFR probes from France and a certain Brazilian company has done an add on kit for them. I can make these using quickboost skyhawk ifr probes, but they are not quite right, so we shall see.

They would work too Geoff, does anyone do them as a conversion set?

Someone did white metal ones at some stage as I have one on the nose of the first PR19. Probably Aeroclub though.

Sounds favourite that does Kit, Highplanes do or did an add on IFR probe kit to fit the Kfir and the Cheetah, I have replicated one to a certain extent using an A-4 Skyhawk IFR probe, if push comes to shove I could make some more like these and say that the mirages etc were not supplied with IFR equipment so they were retro fitted by a third party. I think there is a Brazilian company that did them, in real life.
Cheers,
Chris.

Ask Colin he did Bucc probes to go with his refined nose cone

I have PM'd him a few days ago about something else, but not had a reply as yet, his page is still down too isn't it.
