Geologos Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Another build I finished recently, using Wolfpack's cockpit, Aires' exhaust and Kasl's radome. Painted with Humbrol, Gunze and Lifecolor. Hope you like it! 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Very, very nice. Good job. It's great to see a Mirage in non-French markings too. I'd just wish there was a kit of this quality in 1/72nd Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the MDman Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 One of the most elegant aircraft, and models, around. Well done m8! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat911 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 That looks really nice! Just a quick question though. Did you do anything to correct the lack of anhedral of the stock kit? Thanks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Excellent! A very well built and painted model. The seat looks very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geologos Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) Thank you all for your kind comments! Mark check the photo from the rear, the correction can be seen clearly! Edited March 25, 2015 by Geologos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Very nice indeed, the aires exhaust looks worth the invesment, looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) very nice Mirage! nice attention to detail! and a very nice and dangerous load out! any pic from the underside? one small hing : the refueling probe looks as if it was tilted downward a bit too much from some angles. I thing the straight tube shaped part aft of the probe's tip should be in line with the aircraft axis... Edited March 25, 2015 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhizhou Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks for sharing your super Mirage with us, I think it is the best single seater example I have seen posted up on BM. An inspirational build. What colours/paints did you use for the blue grey? I agree with Wez, we do need a modern tool 2000 family in 1/72 scale.

Geologos Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 First of all I want to thank you for your comments! They are of great importance to me, as I spent almost 2 months working on this model! Now, to your questions! Here is the underside: using as reference this photo from airliners.net : The blue gray is a strange mix of lifecolor's FS 35164, light gull gray and blue. I can't tell you exact portions as a friend gave me the mix of the two first and I just added the blue. For the probe now, it must be one of Kinetic's dozens of mistakes, I corrected the anhedral, the cockpit, the exhaust, the cone, the insignia colors, some antennas, probably it is the one left behind ''for good luck'' as we say here in Greece! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich G Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Very, very nice. Good job. It's great to see a Mirage in non-French markings too. I'd just wish there was a kit of this quality in 1/72nd Wez I couldn't agree more Wez, a mix of Heller, Kinetic and Italeri would give you the right result! Well, It's a lovely job you've done and a nice colour scheme, well done. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 A very familiar aircraft which is seldom seen in the public especially in Hellenic colors,somehow the camo seems to suits the aircraft well.Nice Agean Mirage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalako Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Nice job on the kit though, I do hope that someday - someone will produce an accurate kit of the M2000 in 1/48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
