lgl007 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Well gents... FINALLY I finished her today. Been a long ride. A very challenging build indeed. The Eduard Mirage 2000 does require much TLC to get it not only looking right but correcting many of the errors in the kit. I only scratched the surface of corrections and by no means is this build perfect... but I'm very happy with 'ma belle dame francaise' So here are the pics... comments, suggestions, and critiques welcome... but keep your rude and suggestive remarks to yourselves Took some photos before I put the cockpit glass on. The Eduard color photo etch interior is super... but the fit was a challenge... Here she is on the workbench all finished: And... now for the photoshoot... Here's the underside: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephLalor Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Very nice result indeed. Is that ASMP under the belly? Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgl007 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Hi all and thanks so much for your kind words. It does mean a lot to set recognition from other modellers. Joseph, yes that is a ASMP. I bit to weathered for sure as they are pretty immaculate but I'm a sucker from bringing out ANY detail I can when modelling and sometimes the only way to do it is to add some wash ;-) Here a few pics and details of the actual jet: -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
