Tony T Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Carries on the fine tradition of the Mirage III/5. I've heard the kit is a tail sitter without a nose weight. Is that true? The NLG looks quite dainty if so. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony If you build it like it's creator intended (i.e. in flight), you won't have that problem:) Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Saw its Farnborough debut back in the 80s. Only overshadowed by it's bigger - and noisier- Mirage 4000 brother. The M2000 is also one of those few aircraft that look even better as a two seater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Too bad the story of the full movie was so far-fetched as the flight scenes were incredible (no model nor CGI anywhere!). Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What none of that was CGI ? it looks so wierd, maybe the youtube compression but I was having difficulty believing some of it was real.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I did not say they did not use special effects. However, all the flight scenes were shot with actual planes. I have the DVD with the making of at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could potentially stick it up someone's rear — ouch! — but that wouldn't answer the c/g issue either. Tony Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I checked and we have no review here to confirm, but I suspect the radome is hollow, and some weight could easily be dumped in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but is the NLG too dainty to cope with that? Which was what I was alluding to. I think it may — dunno for sure — need Ali's brass treatment. I like planes on a stick too but that's for whittled, varnished wood or vintage Airfix and Frog 1/72, not modern detailed 1/32 plastic kits.

Tony Well, with no kit handy and no review here, I have no idea how the nose gear might hold up, or even how it's configured. Sounds like a job for S.O.W. to me.

Hartmann352 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Great to watch....once again, I feel like I made an error in my vocation. BUT! Why does the back seat appear to have no canopy?? 2:35-2.38. Cheers, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
