Well spotted, Tom!

That does indeed look spectacular! Are we seeing another Eduard in the making? Interesting use of decals for the speckled finish and the wood they look to be very good. Difficult to tell on the lozenge though but I hear that there are very nice alternatives from a certain US manufacturer.....

Very Exciting! One of my favorites! I hope that someone makes the DII/DIII and DV. Isn't Karaya planning a Cl.IV?

It appears to be a very comprehensive kit. PE, extensive decals and injection plastic.

Attention Eduard and Roden — you have major competition!

The question is whether I will be able to afford it. I wonder what the price will be?

Cheers!

Tom

This kit has been a long time in the pipeline
judging by this news from 2003:

...wow, that looks fabulous. And, judging by their PZL 37 Los and PZL 23 Karas kits (which I own, and which are very good!) Mirage could very well be a Polish Eduard in the making! And here's hoping they finally do the Halberstadt Cl.IV - one of my all-time-favorite WW1 aircraft - SO graceful for a 2 seater, in my humble opinion anyways. Thanks for the link!!!!!
