  9. Hi Matt! Thank you very much for your kind words. 2000-5 is painted with AKRC 235 and 252, but with a drop of X14 sky blue in each. 2000D green is a mix of H65 H420 and H2, grey blue is H42+H331+H2. Cheers
  10. tahnk you very much for your feedback Niels! very appreciated.
  11. Thanks guys! Hi There is no work in progress thread on the net. If you have some question i can answer here. But If you want, the whole build is detailled in the issue 24 of Cocardes Magazine. I posted the link in first post. https://dogfight-editions.com/en/cocardes-international/87-cocardes-international-n24.html?fbclid=IwAR0HyoJzcx-mGNcL6couVEtnRR31D1ok8OOWHliFq6n8mmPSYwvNzjcNFrI Bye
  12. Actually I ordered an new dual seater clear sprue from Kittyhawk when they were still in business. They got the lenght right in this boxing. In your case for a better fit, I would rather cut the rear frame. Good luck
  13. Thanks! Yes! Actually not he nose, but the front fuselage. As KH pasted the longer lenght of twin seater on the single seater.
  14. Not as I can recall.I used Mr softer and VMS 2in1 setting solutions.
  15. Thank you mate As for FFSMC, well, the design and ideas behind the sheets are excellent. During these builds I worked closely with Joffrey who designed Mirage decals. And I can say they are the most accurate you will find. But on the other side, Chris, the FFSMC owner, runs a very small business and the printer he operates gives a result not as good as other manufacturers. That said, I used FFSMC decals for all the pylon stenciling, Damocles Pod stencils (they made on my demand, just for me), Tail insignas, some aircraft stencils, crew names and bomb marks. FFSMC offers the possibility to make the actual aircraft markings you ask him, on demand. And that is a very smart concept, I find. It is worth trying... Codes, roundels and walkways are painted with masks. Bye!
  16. Thank you very much Very appreciated! It was a very demanding build, as I wanted to be as accurate as possible. And less we can say is KH do not help a lot As for the figures, It was not easy for me to paint them, but those Reedoak gems deserve we take some time for them, isn't it? Bye!
  17. Hello The last 2 years, I was busy with this quite demanding project. And now I am pretty happy to finally share the result . I built side by side two Kittyhawk boxings, both in French Markings: a Mirage 2000-5F during Operation Harmattan (Lybia) in 2011, and a 2000D from Operation Chammal (Iraq/Syria) in 2015. The builds were far from "From the box" so to say... Kittyhawk... well is Kittyhawk you know. Interesting subject, quite nice details, but mistakes, lacks, or incomplete intructions. So I had to provide a lot of work to bring the models to a higher standard they deserve. It was maily done with the help of 3D printing. Non exhaustive list of addons: - Exhaust: Reskit - Cockpit -5: Renaissance - Cockpit 2000D: 3D+Quinta - Seats: Grandmodels - Wing Tanks RPL541 542: FFSMC - PE parts: Eduard - Wheels: 3D - RPL522 ventral tank: 3D - Missiles & Pylones: 3D - GUB24: 3D - Decals: Uprise et FFSMC - Figures: Reedoak The Mirage 2000-5F: And the Mirage 2000D: The full WIP is detailed in 80 pages of french Cocardes magazine, with English captions. With Mike's authorization, I share the link if you want to get a copy: Cocardes 24 Special Mirage 2000 Hope you like them! Regards Romain
