salomon Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I'm waiting for the "D" or the "N" version and that could be great if the ASMPA missile is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salomon Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Nice cover art with the SCALP under the M 2000 D, how about the loadout option for the "N"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this is what happens when you don't give a rat's colon about accuracy. The decal sheet is quite funny too.

eclipse Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Unfortunately, I don't think so... Moreover just one month or one month and a half before its release, printing is surely already in progress. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eclipse Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Ah... did they like that for the other face of the tail fin of their Mirage F1B ? I have never heard about that... No right side view, but yet... 😉 So, they can do the same for their Mirage 2000C sheet ? English security markings for Indian, Greek and Taiwanese liveries they propose are missing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salomon Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 So we have the wait for the aftermarket decal, as the kit's camoufage scenes aren't accurate, so bad for this kinda mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willi3d Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Kit’s been released, got mine earlier in the week. Like the C kit, a lot of nice detail, but some issues to deal with. Some of the decal issues have been noted, but add in the only IPs in the kit are for the B, not the D or N panels. Also, same weapons as in the C kit, so no ASMP for the N or bombs for the D. Incidentally, the instructions are only for building the D. Nothing about the differences for the N. So are they doing a B release too? Seems like it would be the same plastic, with different decals.

exdraken Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 So much money to develop a kit, doesn't matter if well or badly researched.... and it is not sold for peanuts either..... I do not get it.. Is the Heller 1/48 kit still the most accurate one shape wise? You get a B, C and N.... and those are ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'm surprised there are no markings for Ramex Delta team in the D/N kit. Thats the scheme i'd want to do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a B, C and N.... and those are ok! They are basic but very nice indeed. A resin burner and ejection seat is basically all I would bother with. But an observation on the B kit, which as far as I know was only released by Airfix and not Heller themselves. 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. My solution: I have a Renaissance resin radome to convert a C into a -5. The leftover C radome will be grafted onto the Airfix B kit 😎 Apologies for going off topic....
