thierry laurent Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I got mine yesterday. This is really a beautiful kit. Too bad the instructions are somewhat confusing regarding the version features. Out2gtcha and Marcel111 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say that the instructions are non-existent regarding version differences, which sadly isn’t uncommon with KH instructions. thierry laurent, Lothar, jgrease and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 As I looked at the kit sprues, I found a problem that has seemingly not yet been mentioned. After a double check in my books, I discovered that the IP hood has the shapes of the mark C one but the surface features of the 5F parts. So, to build a correct C, it is required to add putty and sand the sides to get panels with a smooth surface.

I've merged the two threads and edited the title to encompass all the Kitty Hawk Mirage 2000 kit releases. As this looks like a Romain Hugault drawing, I think this is possibly for an Eduard re-release of another kit (1/48th?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 So, is this kit available in the States yet? I haven’t seen it yet. Without a local hobby shop, where is the safest and least expensive place to pick one of these kits up? Cheers Collin otis252 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otis252 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Just ordered the Mirage from Amazon Prime. $129.00 minus $100 for opening an Amazon Prime credit card, plus free shipping. So it was $29.00! Not bad. Chuck LSP_K2 and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgrease Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Progress report without photos - I'm at the decal stage and the kit decals aren't the best. I'm at the point of using Solvaset to force them to settle into the crevices and rivets, and it's not working consistently. I'll post photos later today.

KHM decals have in the past tended to want to flop over on themselves. I found (at least with earlier KHM kits) that Solvaset seems to tame them to satisfaction.

If you can find some, try Champ solution; it's basically the battery acid of decal solutions. jgrease 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I received my kit today, well worth the $29.00 I paid for it, it looks great! Upon first look, the panel lines look fantastic, shape seems good and a nice level of detail. I really like the wheel wells that you put together in "layers" that give you so much detail then simple molded on details. That said, I'm afraid the instructions are kinda weak and disappointed with the incorrect IP. Overall, I'd say highly recommended. More to follow.
