Title: Bassin Maquette by Modelsvit
Post by: dams301 on September 23, 2015, 04:26:35 PM

Hi all,

for those who would be interested, a model of the Mirage IIIV-01 is now available in exclusivity in a french retailer (Bassin Maquette, France) and produce for him by Modelsvit :

It's a project from the retailer, so you can't find it anywhere else and it is a limited availability at 1000 boxes (200 already sold)
The next one will be the Mirage IIIV-02 and after other french Mirage prototype will come in the future  :)

If you want, I can make some pics of the model. I bought it yesterday  :P

Yes, I know...
I would prefer 1/48th too but to expensive for his wallet with no certitude to sell 1000 boxes in this scale with a selling price around 70-80€, so he dropped out the idea for 1/48th  :(

Given what he's already done and has immediately planned, I would encourage him to do a Mirage IIIT.  I'm definitely interested in this one.

On a related note, I see that this kit is available from his eBay shop: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DASSAULT-MIRAGE-III-V-01-VTOL-MODELSVIT-PLASTIC-KIT-1-72-READ-/121755274795?hash=item1c592e0e2b (http://www.ebay.com/itm/DASSAULT-MIRAGE-III-V-01-VTOL-MODELSVIT-PLASTIC-KIT-1-72-READ-/121755274795?hash=item1c592e0e2b)

I see him Sunday in a local scale model exposition.
I can suggest the IIIT (I want one too) but even in France this one is relatively confidential (more than IIIV, G, G8, etc)... I keep you in touch.

For the Ebay shop, that's him ;)

I'll try to do some detailled pics of the model this evening, in the mean time, you can see a first in-box review here :

I've got two of these now and they are very nice.  One will get built as a Mirage IIIV, one as CTOL variant with the lift-engine bays sealed and used for other purposes, possibly with the addition of canards.
