aircare84 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Just finished my Kitty Hawk Mirage 2000 C. Added Quinta Studios cockpit detail set, Resikit exhaust, as my kit one was too small & a Black Box MB 10 ejection seat which I modified. Added wiring, details etc to the cockpit & landing gear, added grab handles & mirror to canopy. Closed all of the opened panels, doors, retracted the slats. Painted with MRP paints & added minor weathering. Used FCM decals & finished as a Brazilian bird. Discovered after I painted, that the Brazilian aircraft didn't have the wing root flare dispensers, but will have to go as is. I know very little about jets. Good points about the kit; great surface detail, fit is very good for the most part. Overall a decent build. Bad points, Kitty Hawk has too many doors, panels posed opened & the fit is poor if closed. Decals are too thick & didn't respond to solutions. Instructions are vague or wrong concerning optional pieces. Thanks for looking & all comments welcome.
