DutyCat Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) LHS has the FN version of this kit on clearance for $2.50! Is it a decent kit? Does it come with any decals other than the French Navy? Difference between the French and USN version? I almost picked it up today, but I walked away from it and a Heller 1/72 Mirage 2000N two seater(also $2.50) because I didn't know anything about either kit. If the F-8 is pretty good, I can always pick up aftermarket decals. How is the Mirage 2000 kit? Edited June 17, 2008 by DutyCat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laurent Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The Mirage 2000N isn't bad. Accurate shapewise but need a bit of work. It derives from their Mirage 2000C: they've changed the fuselage (recessed panel lines) but kept the rest (wings with raised panel lines, rather poor detaling). Detail level of the F-8 is poor, the recessed panel lines aren't crisp at all and it suffers from shape issues (fuselage height too low among other things). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
