Interesting! I'd like to know how people feel about Mirage kits. They have quite a spread of unusual offerings. Anyone else familiar with their kits? Gaz

I built their first offering a year or so. Really fiddly to work with. If you are a good modeler it comes out to a masterpiece. Excellent decals but very thin and a sooo detailed cockpit.

The best method is to check the Mirage product reviews here at Aeroscale. Also I and Mark Hamrick both did a build of their CL.II kit. Here is mine.

Gaz, I've had mixed experiences with Mirage, mostly their older armour and ship kits. Some good, some great and some awful. Their 1/35 Polish 2 man tankette. Built up well until I came to assembling the vinyl tracks (too long and refused the bend to shape around the wheels) and the project ground to a halt. Eventually finished it as a wreck. Their Renault UE's are much better. Also got a few of their 1/400 Destroyers and subs. Buildable and looked like what they were supposed to be, but details a little chunky. Good points were the unusual subjects. Who else had given us British and French built Destroyers in Polish service? The ex US Navy 4-stackers are the best of that range. Very nice detailing on those kits. Aircraft I haven't done yet but I do have the Halberstadt on my wish list. Most of those are new and look to be up there with the best releases of the last few years.

Hi again The Halberstadt has landed after what looks like a rather bumpy journey: The box took a battering, but the contents all look safe and sound on first inspection. I'll post a fuller look as soon as I can. All the best Rowan
