Pelican Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hi all, This is the Heller Mirage 2000N modified to get a D version. As usual with Heller, lot of work to get a decent model. Happy new year 61 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Excellent result. I love the cracked-open canopies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Excellent work on the aircraft & payload. I’ve put my partly built Eduard re-pop of the kit in the pending file, it may stay there after seeing yours! Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldy Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Superb work. I love Mirages ad this one is really nice. The head work was well worth the effort. Cheers Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Riot Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 More than decent, that's stunning! Looking good in wrap-around camo too, didn't know the French did that. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PZL104 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) What an excellent model! Very impressive, especially the subtle very realistic weathering. I'm just re-starting modelling (exclusively airplanes 1/48 scale) after my way-too-early retirement from airline flying, but examples like this are leaving me scratching my head if this might not be a rather frustrating experience if I can't achieve an even remotely similar standard….

Pelican Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thank you very much for your comments. Actually when I look at the pictures I have to admit the Mirage 2000 is a really beautiful aircraft (IMHO). I can't wait for the 1/32 Kittyhawk Mirage 2000C.

TEZ Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Lovely build, did you use the Renaissance detail sets to improve the Heller offering? Regards Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelican Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Thx for your comments, in fact it is a composite model For the cockpit I used some Eduard photo-etch whereas many parts are from scratch. The engine nozzle is from Aires. The Magic missiles are from the Revell Rafale kit. The GBUs, designation pod, specific chaff dispenser and vertical fin are from the Kinetic Mirage 2000B box. The Heller fuselage was completely twisted, I had to cut it in half to fix it. Edited January 14, 2019 by Pelican spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stéphane Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hello , excellent work and result on the conversion. May I ask what you used for the spine and tail ? Is it the Renaissance set ? Best, Stéphane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, have a look at my RFIs instead, they'll make you feel better! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
