josepedro Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hello! Here are some photos of one of my latest projects. This project was published on this month issue (July 2014) of Airfix Model World mag. It`s the Kinetic kit, together with Syhart decals, in order to portray this specific airframe. The wing root angle was altered in order to depict the characteristic anhedral look of the Mirage 2000 family. I used both Lifecolor and Vallejo acrylic paints. Here http://josepiresmodelismo.blogspot.pt/ you can find detailed pics of the construction and painting process. My best regards! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rom Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hello Impressive build! The colors are spot on! detailing on the wheel bays are very nice, and I like very much the weathering. Load-out is very original. The wiring for bombs is possible I think, although rarely seen on operational planes. Thanks for sharing ;^) Romain Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stalal Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Fantastic build. How did you fix the anhedral of the wing? By how many degrees? I m interested in building its two seat version and trying to gather as much info as possible :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
