Dimosthenis Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 May I add, on top of what eddy said: 1) The ECM aerials and fairings on top of M2000N or EG, or perhaps a whole new resin tail with those and additionaly corrected NAV light position and trailing edge thickness (my big fat greek imagination, I know... :) ) 2) AM-39 Exocets and pylons Quote Link to post Share on other sites
florent67 Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 Hi folks... As said before, I'm working now on the tail... For sure, new details have to be added : ECM. Find below a picuture of the Heller part : Do not consider the 2000D specifications and compare it with a 2000C tail picture...you will be quite surprised to see that several things have to be added... Notice the presence of small photoetch parts... A new reinforcement panel at the bottom new panel lines / rivets A lot of work is still required. A new rond styrene has to be added on the rear detectetor The front antenna has to filled More pictures tomorrow Florent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Looking good I never realised that so much had to be added to the kit. Stephen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSV1000R Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) Don't forget the Serval/ICMS Mk.2 aerial/fairing is different on the 2000Cs compared to the 2000Ds. Compare the height and angle of the aerial on the leading edge of the fin: A couple of pictures to show this... C S3 Tail: Edited May 19, 2005 by eddygrantham Quote Link to post Share on other sites

florent67 Posted May 22, 2005 Author Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hi all find below a picture of the last corrections I made on this tail. New rivets - lines were engraved Inaccurate lines were filled and sanded and replaced by new one. The position light is erased and replaced by a half round in plastic card and sanded. Still to be done : extremity with an inferior diameter of the 2 detectors... Next step which should be quick : rescribing the lines and rivets on the other sides...but due to vacation till May,30...It will be done begining of june Bye Florent Quote Link to post Share on other sites

florent67 Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 hi all Olivier sent me casted parts of his Mirage 2000-5 pylons... The time to go bak from vacation and I will post some pictures of his quite interesting parts... in parallele of the 2000D, why not dreaming of a Mirage 2000-5...what s your opinion ? Would you be interested ? Florent and Olivier Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eli Raphael Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 in parallele of the 2000D, why not dreaming of a Mirage 2000-5...what s your opinion ? Would you be interested ?Me oui!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me oui!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
florent67 Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 Hi Eli... The Mirage 2000-5 is in project...and should be developped in parallel than the D version...BUT because there s a BUT... there s no decal sheet available yet.. If the success of the coming sheet for the MIrage F1-CR/CT is confirmed (I will buy it)...why asking to Skyraider to develop a sheet for Mirage 2000C and RDI versions... ;) Florent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyraider Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) Ok, boys... I heard that call, and it sound EXACTLY in my direction ;) Eli: I found out, that the decals 1/72 and 1/48 for the Rafale M would sell. If you want, I do them. And in parallel, if you want, I start with the Mirage 2000D and -5F. All references etc. are on my desk. I just need a go from you! Oh, why do you want a C and a RDI decal sheet? I think D and -5F is asked, no? skyraider Ed: The drawings you have from the Mirage 2000: is it possible to get them as a vector file? It would accelerate my work extremly!

florent67 Posted May 29, 2005 Author Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hi all I m still on vacation but this is the opportunity for me to work on the Mirage 2000 project...I study pictures, details, which parts to be done do in resin or in photoetch... it seems that Skyraider is ready and enjoyed at 100% to design a decal sheet for Mirage 2000-5 and D...Eli...what about you ? If the target of 500 Mirage F1CT decal sheet is reached...would you be agree to continue the french adventure ? All, I have no commercial relation with Eli but as you certainly noticed, a lot of things have to be done for french aircrafts...including Mirage and other jets...(Jaguar, Etendard, Mirage III Family, Mirage 2000 family...) I think that if each of you who is insterested in one of this project could post a few words with his expectation, it could be quite helpful for everybody and the things could move in the good directions Thx for your time ( I hope that several of you will leave a few words) Florent Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pinky coffeeboat Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Hello to everyone B) In answer to your request for those interested in the French adventure and what we would like/expect, I offer you my wish list:- - Mirage 2000 (C/-5/N/D/B) resin cockpits with accurate ejector seats. - Mirage F1 (C/CR/CT) cocpkits & seats. - Mirage III (E/5/5/50) cockpits, seats and alternative noses for Belgium, Pakistan, Egypt, 5F, Switzerland ...etc -Decals to allow us to model Mirages (of all types!) from around the world with a reasonable amount of stencilling, but more importantly up-to-date markings (Bosnia, Kosovo, Afganistan... etc) - and how about a good range of French/ European weapons ? AS-30, Beluga, SAMP stlye bombs, Matra R550 missiles ( to replace those awful kit provided ones (Revell Rafale excepted!)) Scale - mainly 1/48 ( perhaps some 1/72 decals ?) :D I'm not asking for much (honest), just for us modellers of non-US grey jets to be given even half of what you modellers of US grey jets get (lucky so-and-so's) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyraider Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 I'll do what I can for the decals. Just give me time, I'm working 100% beside my hobby... The Mirage F-1CT 1/48 is covered in decals by the soon to be released decals by Eli (ZOTZ). And Fonderie Miniature or Cobra Company make a nice Cockpit for the Italeri kit. For the rest of the Resin request above I DITO!!! Right now I'm working on the Rafale M markings, all 10 operational aircraft! Then I have all I need to make the markings for the Jaguar A. But as I said, give me time! skyraider BTW: Eli said go fo a lot of markings you mentioned, florent67 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyraider Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) Deconflicting.... Just AdlA 2000Cs (S3, S4, S5). Ta, Ed Ed, do you want to send them to me? I'll include them on the Mirage 2000 sheet... They are looking great! skyraider (@swissonline.ch) PS: My work for the moment Edited June 2, 2005 by skyraider Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RSV1000R Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Skyraider, I started making the decals as a personal project for my current build (Italeri Mirage 2000C). I then got carried away and couldn't decide which markings to use so I started to make several sets! The subjects are: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/470930/L/ http://www.airliners.net/open.file/699965/L/ And a similar EC 1/5, C46 "Trident" jet, however with a different style of tail badge: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/618556/L/ Essentially I'd like to keep the first (left hand side on the sheet) and last (right hand side on the sheet) subjects but as I cannot print the "orangey" colour correctly on my ALPS, you are welcome to have the middle option which is the badge and serials for EC 4/33 "Vexin" from Djbouti. I think the jets may have a different badge on each side of the tail but I will check this out, finish the artwork and send it to you. Is Corel Draw ok ? I would like to finish the two jets on my sheet and add another to repalce the Djibouti based aircraft that I cannot print. Possibly an EC 2/2 "Cote D'Or" -5F and I'll try to get this sheet done soon and available for the few that want it! Cheers, Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
