The only game in town a 1/48 Mirage IVP, and a build assist thing which will also work for my ships.

Should be pretty big at that scale. I got their 1/72 kit a couple of years ago, expecting something a little bigger than the III. Boy was I wrong!
This looks like it includes the ASMP missile? The smaller kit only has the option of the earlier bomb.
Yeap ASMP missile is included, the kit is however quite old and I knew this this before I hit the buy button, raised panel lines but they are really thin and quite small so I may live with them, however new bang seats and exhaust cans are a must.
If you want to see one in the flesh get yourself to Elvington Yorkshire Air Museum as they have one, what an impressive aircraft. It got me hooked on the whole Mirage III, IV, V, 50, 2000 and 4000 family including all the conversions made on the III airframe Kfir, Nasher, Pantera, Dagger etc.
Not my photo, just for discussion but gives you an idea of the size difference.

That’s cool, thanks. Had no idea we had one over here in the UK. Might have to try and visit next time we’re in that part of the country.
Sounds a lot like the 1/72, although at that scale I can live with the shortcomings. Not a lot can be seen through the canopy from what I remember with test fitting. Would make a nice little addition to a Nuclear Delta collection. Vulcan, Mirage and B-58.
Looking forward to seeing how you get on with it.
Yeah, it’s a huge aircraft and still very elegant.

Yeah there’s a story behind that, Elvington was the base of several French air force squadrons during WWII. There a nice bit of info and a part of the museum is dedicated to this, anyway one of those squadron went on to operate the Mirage IV so when it was retired from service they donated one to the museum.
It sits next to a Victor and Nimrod, plus in nice weather they role out their Halifax to display outside.
