Overall, this is probably the best Mirage-IIIE in 1/48 scale. I think its the only one in this scale, at least the only one easily gotten. Overall there is alot to like about this kit. It appears since this boxing first came out, Kinetic are including the Matra missiles. Mine also came with MICA missiles along with the AS-30 and Magic missiles, presumably a leftover from the Mirage 2K kit. Plenty of variety in avionics bay covers for the different versions. However, this kit is let down by poor fitment of the intakes. They will go together, but not without careful dry fitting and gluing in stages, occasionally ignoring the instructions. Small linear clamps are advised. The kit will go together, but it will make you work for it, you will be filling gaps, and you will be rescribing a couple damaged panel lines. The landing gear struts' detail is soft, but passable, especially once wing tanks are installed. Compared to the F-16s the mold flash is high, but never to the point of destroying detail. The model needs no nose weight to stay on all three wheels and as someone who despises masking round things, the separate hubs and tires are well worth the absence of tread detail to me. Overall, if you love the Mirage this kit is workable and is worth the asking.
