After buying this issue of Aviation Classics...
.....which I can highly recommend for anyone who wants to know more about SAAB and its aircraft (Heinkel and Junkers have a lot ot answer for! ) among other things.
Anyhoo, I saw that the next issue in July will be about the Dassault Mirage III/V, which made me look on the web...
How come that it's such a few modern kits around for the Mirage III/V in 1/48 and of course the IV and the F1??
As far as I understand the Eduard is the best (or?) in town, which is a C and/or CJ...
Italeri's IIIE being the old Esci..
Academy's being a copy of the Fujimi and both being closer to 1/50 than 1/48 and NOT all that...
FM's IIIE, well as I've read regarding that one.....let's not go there!
Hobby Boss which seem to be a copy of Eduard, or som it's said...
Heller's III and IV, back to the....well raised lines etc..
Italeri's F1.C which also is the old Esci, but it's said that it's one of Esci's best attempts...
Isn't it about time that these birds get some limelight? I mean they were popular and important enough in the cold war era and after....right? 21 countries bought the III and 15 the V, I think....I'm sure that F1 found a few buyers as well...
So....what's the hold up??
