Tecnikit Posted April 4 Posted April 4 Hubert got there first 😀 That's good.  While we produce the J-58 models, and finish the Mirage IIIE monographic and the J-79 engine, we announce that we are starting the Mirage IV project in 1/32 scale.  https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=page&id=31&language=en  The model will be made as usual with 3D laser printing, but with a special manufacturing system that we are perfecting and that will allow us to reduce the cost significantly in the fuselage and surfaces. We will make slight modifications to the current ATAR 09C5 engine that we already sell to obtain the ATAR 9K variant that equipped the Mirage IV. In such a way that the model will include the high detailed nozzles and afterburners, and optional detailsets of the installed engine, in installation phase or exposed behind the aircraft. This will also allow modelers building Dassault Etendard IV, Mirage F1, Mirage 5, Nesher, Mirage 50, Cheetah, Super Etendard, Super Mystere and SE-212 Durandal models to detail their 1/32 scale models with this engine, nozzle or nozzle and afterburner. The landing gear will have metallic columns for the shock absorbers that will serve as internal reinforcement as we already did in the rear landing gear of the Mirage IIIE. It will also have other details that we can't reveal yet. It will of course include cockpit and landing gear well detailing as standard. 😉 Javier Povedano Tecnikit 3 Quote

Martinnfb Posted April 6 Posted April 6 Great news indeed. Â French delta wings are absolutely fascinating masterpieces, in matter of fact, we need more of the French airplanes in 1/32. Bleriot, Bloch, Breguet, Farman, Caudrons etc., Â just to name a few legendary names that altered the history of aviation. 2 Quote
