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.

Agreed. The plastic is very hard & brittle. Last time I tackled one of these, two of the wing halves snapped with very little provocation!! . Be nice if it was a completely new kit of course but,it would probably then be completely unaffordable (in the UK at least!)

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

Some of these fit the bill ?

Yep - some of those fit the bill very nicely in particular, I don't know of any other models of the 100mm RP pods. Cheers!

Some interesting things there.  What were the "B.O.A. "Espadon" wingtip pods for Mirage IV." used for?  Air sampling?

I'm sorely tempted to buy all of the Mirage IV add-ons! What a variety of stuff they loaded onto that great looking aircraft.

After I'd spent a week or so scratchbuilding an ASMP missile for my RW Mirage IV those guys came out with a resin version. Don't you just HATE it when that happens?

The Heller Mirage 2000N has an injection ASMP BTW 

[Captain Canada]

That might be the coolest looking 109 I've ever seen !

And what's with all the excitement over the weapons ? Don't you get pretty much all that in a Revell Typhhon ?

The B-47 painting looks awesome too. Big kit !

It has, and they bought THAT out after I'd scratched mine.

I believe it was pointed out earlier that you get a Typhoon free with the Revell weapons set!! Probably a bit cheaper too!!

The Heller one I built was very poor quality.

I bought a 2000N when it was released, just to see how my ASMP compared with theirs and I was less than impressed too.

Having scratchbuilt a few Brimstones, in this scale their fins are tiny (front fins are ~1x1 mm) and a PITA to install correctly.
