mathy Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Hi all, my latest model is this Kinetic Mirage 2000D with dual GBU in 1:48. Not a "Gold Series Kit" but nevertheless a nice one. Used the Eduard PE`s, Quinta 3D cockpit decals, Aries nozzle und FCM decals. 44 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amos brierley Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Really superb, fantastic finish - paint colours - weathering. Would like to see some photos of the underside. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantherhawk27263 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 When I see completed builds done this well, it makes me question why I even try building models. I could never achieve this level of realism. Absolutely beautiful work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Indigo Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Stunning work in all aspects & great photos! How is the kit? I‘m playing with the idea of building a 2000 ever since watching „Les chevaliers du ciel“. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doxasg Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Once again, a stunning work from mathy👍 Congratulations! Giannis Doxas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filler Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Absolutely sublime work. Just curious as to whether you fixed the lack of anhedral or not. Given I can’t tell from the photos I guess you could say it doesn’t really matter either way. When this level of work is posted IN BM and I look at my efforts posted on BM, it makes me think it’s a bit like me playing football with Lionel Messi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I‘m playing with the idea of building a 2000 ever since watching „Les chevaliers du ciel“. It is not the great Kinetic "Gold Series" quality, but it is a good kit and for sure the best Mirage 2000D in 1:48. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Love that. 1/48 isn't my scale, but the more I see of Mirages, the more I like them. The F1 is my current favourite, but the 2000 looks good too. And somehow the Dassault people made the two-seaters look as pretty as the singles. Lovely paint finish on this. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modelling Padre Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 A model that inspires one to pick up a scalpel, open the glue and try and achieve such a great build. The finish and look just feels right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
