Hasegawa

Shouldn't be too bad, if their other weapons sets are anything to go on. If it does end up very pricy, then most of those weapons can be had for about £13 from Revell, with a free Tiffie in the box to boot.

  too small  heres hoping they do the 1:48 version soon

Interesting that the blurb mentions Mirage 2000s when in fact almost none of those weapons apply to it.

Should be Rafale i guess using the Meteor

[ChernayaAkula]

Interesting stuff!  Especially the Brimstone missiles and launchers. 
Going by the types included and the blurb mentioning 86 parts, I suppose the set consists of the weapons coming with Hasegawa's 1/72 Eurofighter Typhoon. The three sprues X, Y and Z (LINK) contain exactly 43 parts. So, each sprue included twice and you have 86 parts, giving four each IRIS-T, ASRAAM, AMRAAM, Meteor, ALARM and two each Storm Shadow, Taurus and Brimstone launcher (with three missiles each). Nice!

Interesting to see the Taurus, Storm Shadow and Brimstones on a separate sprue, as well as the ALARMS on a separate sprue. Wonder whether we'll see some updated Tornadoes from Hasegawa....

Interesting to see that sprue Z is listed as x2 but also not for use

Wish somebody would do a decent French weapons set. They have lots of interesting stuff, and since they export "freely" they're useful for all sorts of whiff ideas, not just in-service French stuff. Off the top of my head:

R.550 Magic 2 AAM
Super 530D AAM
MICA-RF AAM
MICA-IR AAM
SCALP-EG ASM
ASMP ASM (nuclear)
AM-39 Exocet AShM
AS-137 ARMAT ARM
AS-30L ASM
MATRA LGBs (can't recall the name)
ATLIS II targeting pod
Beluga CBUs
BAP-100 mini-concrete-piercing bombs
BAT-120 mini-frag bombs
9 and 18 round carriers for the BAP-100s and BAT-120s
Durandal anti-runway bombs
Thomson-Brandt 100mm rocket pods (4 and 6 round)

Yes, I have one in the stash too, and used some of it --

Cheers folks - didn't know about the Heller one. Unfortunately, it seems to be rare as hen's teeth nowadays. It's also French/NATO, so there are some things in it that duplicate other sets and other things on my list that arn't in it.

Looks like Skunkmodel does a 1/48th one too (limited selection though): http://www.hyperscale.com/2011/reviews/kits/smw48008reviewme_1.htm

From that angle the B-47 always looks a little cartoonish to me. Smiley face ?

Some of these fit the bill ?

[Gondor]

The B-47 is a probably reissue with new decals. It would be nice to see more of them on the market though and in more modern plastic than the original was.
