Had this old kit lurking in the depths of the stash.

A simple enough build. I added the exhaust petals to the inside of the burner cans, otherwise it was pretty much OOB. Painted with Humbrol enamel paints, gloss and matt cote.

Depicts a Dassault Mirage 2000C, Escadron de Chasse 02-005 "Ile-de-France", 1991.

Nice build Joe. The camo and the decal work are fine! I like it

 

[Guest]

a really nice build for such an old kit! Brilliant work on the camo mate. Try out the new 1/32 Mirage by Italeri. It looks to be a really nice kit

 

[Guest]

Great build Joe mate. Like the mirage 2000 decal! Well done on the camo.

Nice one Joe. It's always good to see a classic kit built.

Nice result from an old kit Joe. Paintwork looks good?

Oldies but goldies, Joe.......Great build, your Mirage is a beauty!!!

A lovely Mirage Joe!

Nice build! Reminds me of the the old Mirage III's from 2 Sqn, AFB Hoedspruit in the SAAF - though this is a whole lot more modern.

Cheers guys, appreciate the comments.

Your radar is working fine Rick. It sort of just got built and before long, I realised I hadn't really taken many pictures along the way so I just finished it and posted it here.
