POMPEO Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 thank's for watching friend's Sharkey, the kit had a very easy buil, i use i little filler on the build, all pieces had a easy build, jut the manual had some black outs, and any steps you had to decide alone because the manual not explain...but is a nice kit and a very plesure build here some prgress: wash finished, external stores and landing gear on the position now, i had to put th antennas and nav lights, and....finaly finished my first for 2011, i want to finish him in this weekend because my new project arrives here today: hobbyboss F-14A tomcat cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 congrats to your mirage!! Just found it here, now for you to late, but for other freaks of the delta: http://www.hyperscale.com/2011/features/mi...2000b48me_1.htm Mick Evans presents a Construction Feature on the Mirage 2000. Maybe some finish on the exhaust nozzle? Looks so...silver!? Uhhhh...I could need some days on brazilian beaches too. Have enough from grey european winter! :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
POMPEO Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Hi Tobik, in first place, you are more than welcome, the brazilian summer had temperateures around 30 or 40ºc, ill be a nice change about the mirage, the nozzle on the 2000D, looks silver to me, look this pic and i think that to represent this polish metal part i should paint with alclad, but my own alclad silver are finished in the 2000B variant, that is a trainning version, an that the is the Mick Evans had build, the nozzle is a little bit more dark, looks like a burnt iron thanks for the comment and ideas, keep with us cheers Edited February 5, 2011 by POMPEO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirkpitt289 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Great looking build. I look forward to seeing how the Tomcat goes too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hm yes, you are right, it looks polished! Maybe try humbrol polished aluminium or a Gunze Mr. hobby metal color, you can polish that too. I think a mix of stainless steel and aluminium will be good, and then polish (use a q-tip). Alclad II is a fine stuff, but not always necessary! and hey presto!! I hope you will scratchbuild the leakoil cart you see under the Mirage! It s a masterpiece of french craftmenship! haha..looks really funny but it is without doubt simple and effective!

bungynik Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, for those who want to build the 2000D, I can recommend the Skyraider decal set in 1/48. I just have read the review at http://inscale.org/pub/index.php?topic=1010.0, and I can recommend as well. I have the same decal set and I'm very impressed. Hope it will be of some help for future builders! Edited February 25, 2011 by bungynik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
