Mirage 2000D

This is what has been occupying my attention for the last 3 weeks (around my other 2 easier projects); an Italeri Mirage 2000D. The canopy has nearly driven me mad, and the nose shape is not yet right.

Final oily wash and satin top coat to go.

One thing though, looks like you've built an N version rather than a D. Italeri miss representing what's in the box by the looks of it.
How can you tell? :blink:

I honestly haven't got a clue, except that the N (can) carry the ASMP. It looks like AS-30L on this beaty.

I have a few pictures of an M2k-D that was at the Danish Airshow at Aalborg this year. Let me know i you're interested :)

Many thanks hatchet, I took quite a few of my own at RIAT so I think I am OK.

The Fanakit website is excellent too.

Italeri's kit claims to be a D, but is in fact the N K2 version 9with appropriate decals and another N based conversion used as the D Demonstrator. So, what I have built is a bit of a hybrid - no N pitot, but no D Flare launchers on the spine either!

Here's a RIAT picture and a bigger version of the in-progress pic:

Ok mate.
There are 2 obvious differnces between the D and the N which are usually very clear to pick out - Flare pack on the spine (which gives it a flattened appearance) and the tail of the D has more antannae popping out.
Thanks mate. I knew about the cm-dispenser, but I thought it was on both the D and N. Live and learn :D
