salomon Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Can't wait to get mine, but hobbyeasy suspend the shipping because the Covid virus. Anyway I'm just planning to make the ASMP-A missile for the N version, and if you want to print this, just download the STL file and the OBJ is also included. https://wetransfer.com/downloads/26260a87e7c5375b85487876d7b9e2b020200406133733/1d97cc8c4d6cbf76b8774fba02c98fe120200406133849/ee351a, enjoy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, nice! What makes this an -A version? Shouldn' t it have a 3rd pair of fin as in the photo above? Any issues in downscaling to 48 to be expected? Thanks!

salomon Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 The A is for Advanced, this is the last version of the ASMP. I do change the model and I think it's right right now. The download link is follow, you have to scale with your 3d printing software before printing. https://wetransfer.com/downloads/08f5656c896545c6d679dd5be27c3b2520200408143622/faa955 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopkp Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I have the 2000C version and am very happy with it. Granted, the decals are a bit of a mess and there's no 2000-5 instrument panel in the kit, but for me those are minor issues (which will hopefully eventually be resolved by aftermarket producers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 On 4/4/2020 at 6:48 PM, guillaume320 said: The radome on that one is a bit off. They correctly engraved the radome line further back than it is on the N, but the N/D radome is less bulbous in real life. So the B kit radome looks too skinny, especially when put next to the C kit. I don't know about the kits, but IRL, nose cones of every version of Mirage 2000 have the same geometry, the same shape. C and B cone are perfectly the same and easily superseded one by another and it happened sometimes... The only difference with N/D cones are the add of a frame ("frame 0") in front of the usual frame (frame 1) where the C/B cone is attached, due to the forward position of the radar Antilope V, smaller and lighter than RDM/RDI, in order to restore the equilibrium of the plane. In fact, without the probe in front of the cone of B and N versions, B, N and D versions have the exact same lenght... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hum... Does anyone see the decals of loads stencils ? 😟 Or a decal sheet would be missing ? Yet, according to Michael Benolkin on his Cybermodeler's review: Quote As you can see in the decal image [pasted below], There is a nice set of airframe and weapons stencils provided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may very well be right, but the Heller single and two seaters have a different geometry. Somehow the N nose looks good, so does the C, but the B looks wrong to me.... 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard123 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Am I right in thinking then that the kit is basically sound apart from the decals, which I probably wouldn't use anyway, and the instrument panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudikoff Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 18 hours ago, asgardiano said: where are the weapon stencils provide ????????? Part of the decal sheet B is covered by decal sheet A so perhaps they're there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 18 hours ago, asgardiano said: where are the weapon stencils provide ????????? A hypothesis. The cost of a decal sheet depends on the number of colours and on its size. KH wanted to have the same decal cost per box for the single-seater and double-seater boxings. Since KH put a sheet for the stalk, devil and tiger decals in the twin-seater boxing, they didn't have the budget to put the weapons stencils. It's a cheap idea from the customer point-of-view but it makes some sense from the producer point-of-view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read here and elsewhere, that's my understanding anyway. None of the issues identified anywhere are deal-breakers for me.....I've already bought the single-seater and will be getting this one too. Hopefully someone will oblige with a couple of appropriate aftermarket decal sheets. Edited April 29, 2020 by hopkp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone will do the instrument panels too but I'm not too bothered, it looks a fantastic kit to me bar the silly mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
