Build #1 : AMD-BA Mirage F2000, EC 1/12 Cambresis

[Slerski]

Yes, I'm copying Ian, but as he said "I'm in". This GB is for a french guy like me  

So 2 models for the moment => Mirage F2000 (turn into plastic) with a little surprise and maybe a MiG-31

[Slerski]

So a little presentation of this model.

1/ She'll be F.A.F., more exactly EC 1/12 Cambresis. (a MF1 and M2K user)

2/ I'll use a started but not finished Heller F1CR as support.

3/ The spare parts will come from Heller M2K. I'll use, the nose (from Pitot tube to intakes), the vertical tail, and Super 530 missiles.

4/ Paintjob in Défense Aérienne scheme, using Xtracolor Mirage 2000 color set.

Need a beer and I'm ready to start

Correct me if I am wrong. Is Mirage-2000 cockpit area wider than F1's one?

BTW: Sounds an elegant plane

[Slerski]

Yes... That's why God created Putty 

[Slerski]

In progress (little progress, F-111 is close from completion)... Work began on 14th July, watching planes flying over Paris 



More to come later...

Beautiful bttb.
Too much ballast, perhaps.

[Slerski]

Too much ballast  

Me don't understand (barbecue vapours and odours disturb my mind). Maybe you could explain to me ?

[ysi_maniac]

I may be wrong but aft fuselage looks flying to me. Excuse me if I am wrong

[Slerski]

You're right 

Main landing gear is glued on MF1 fuselage. That's why the aft body looks like flying.

Week-end is finished and I'm back on my airbase. So little WIP pics (as I recover my personal notebook)





Pictures were taken on saturday. Model is primered now and ready for painting 

[ysi_maniac]

I am just in love with this project! 

[Slerski]

A little teaser  I'm not doing a Mirage 2000.

[Slerski]

Hi there. Little WIP pics, I haven't time for whiffing at the moment. But holidays will come soon 

Hope the project look nice.

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Oh yes -that is so right !
