RAGATIGER Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 6 hours ago, Dave Fleming said: The Mirage F1 used the Super 530F and the 2K used the Super 530D with a longer body and different fins. Hi Dave According to Wikipedia Length Super 530F: 3.54 m means 354 cm / 72 = 4.9166 Super 530D: 3.80 m means 380 cm /72 = 5.2777 thats closely about 3 mm in length so you only need to add an small shim and to reshape with sand or add new fins please your modeling skills are above normal modeller I believe in you Regards Armando PS I never liked too much the ordenance in Heller kits still the Speciall Hobby cost about £15 pounds and include a whole bunch of goodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatol Pigwa Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Bummer, no RPL-541/542 tanks, only the RPL-501/502. I'll have to wait and hope the 2000B/D/N comes following fast and comes with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I've not long since bought a repop of the Heller kit but after seeing that decal sheet, can see a need for one of these developing too. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears very close to the red of the French roundel on my monitor, hopefully it will be more obvious in real life... ...hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurent Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Isn't it a relatively common practice to sabotage the decal artwork to avoid copying ? The colour in the profile is more orange. Edited January 29, 2021 by Laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there Well for all that want to do more than one Dassault Mirage 2000C maybe I can suggest to get the Mistercraft kit. This one is actually a clone of the old Heller kit according to Scalemates https://www.scalemates.com/kits/mistercraft-e-31-mirage-2000c-5--1207717 And after a brief search I found this in their Facebook page that include decals for versions: Mirage 2000 C-5 EC 1/2 "Cicognes" French Air Force, Nancy Ochey France 2013 Mirage 2000C 331 Squadron(Mirra)"Thiseas" 114 FW Hellenic Air Force, Tanagra AFB, Greece 2016 Mirage 2000C EC(115) 82nd Squadron Egiptian Air Force, EL Basur Air Base, Egipt 2019 Mirage 2000C(KF 135) "Tigers Squadron" Indian Air Force, Maharajpura Air Base, Gwailor, India 2015 Mirage 20020C(4940) 1st Air Defence Group Brasilian Air Force, Brasil 2015 So getting a couple of this cheap kit plus an aftermarket stencil decal plus the Modelsvit kit you can have most off the family https://www.facebook.com/MistercraftOfficial/photos/pcb.3619732554759569/3619732134759611 Cheers Armando PD That by the way is what I'm planning to do with Heller Weapons set and some Aztec decals for the Peruvian sample Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128fiddler Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Is it me, but EC 1/12 was based at Cambrai, but I thought 5/330 were the cote d'argent tigers being flown out of Mont de Marsan, or? Another possibility that the airframe was hired by 330 and after returning to Cambrai it still flew in these markings afterwards. Anyone who could shead a light on this?

My question actually was, did 5/330 flew out of Cambrai or Mont de Marsan? As the profiles say Cambrai but I think Mont de Marsan. Just a small detail offcourse 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were frequently at Cambrai, perhaps that's the reason for the mistake. https://www.traditions-air.fr/unit/photo/div_33005.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieGolf2009 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) With a little bit of work and patience (scratchbuilding pylons and getting launch rails and missiles from the spares box or another kit), it's possible to represent the Indian Air Force Mirage 2000H with the russian Vympel R-73's. 😉 https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/iafs-french-mirage-2000-fly-with-russian-r-73-missiles-thanks-to-israeli-jugaad-2067318 Edited February 1, 2021 by CharlieGolf2009 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
