Italeri Mirage 2000C 1/72 [Full Build]

[@Johnny-tt8zc]

Turned out very nice. For some reason, lately I’ve had this fascination with Swedish jets. And other European aircraft.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks! I can totally understand that, the Swedish Draken and French Rafale are amongst my top 5 ☺️

Amazing model, a pleasure to watch

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you so much Cristian! 😊

[@angrypandaification]

Looks wicked! I love the Mirage 2000C, such a cool looking little plane.

Beautiful Mirage... :) :) I think this kit may be re-boxed by Tamiya as well, I know Tamiya has used quite a few different Italeri kits in their 1/72 aircraft range.. Great to see the build process, the etch enhanced the cockpit a lot, it was worth the effort for sure.. :)

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

As usual, thanks a lot Rob! If I ever want to build another Mirage, I might get the Modelsvit kit which costs 3x as much as this one 😅

Oh wow, thank you so much Carlos!

[@diggledoggle4192]

Just got one of these myself, a well-timed upload. Nice build

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks and enjoy your Mirage!

Looks good, If you are looking to paint more French fighters in the future I can highly recommend the Vallejo 71.627 Armée de l’Air colors post WWII to present set.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you! I didn't come across that one while doing my research 🤔

[@scaleffect]

[@25hanusia]

Bardzo ładny👍🏻

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Dziękuję 😊

[@onvrezavio]

great job, what type of paint did you use for the main two tones? i'm guessing acrylics but if so, do you apply the enamel wash directly over the dried acrylic or did you apply a varnish first?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

I used MRP for the grey and Revell Aqua for the blue. As far as I remember I sprayed on a gloss varnish before applying the wash!

[@richardtsai-l4l]

I will sit in your aircraft and fly it away! Cheers~

The payload is actually quite bizarre. The 2x2 external missiles are accurate for the "C" version of the Mirage 2000, but those brown things ... men, I'm a French aviation enthousiast and have never seen these before ! The drop tank is wrong as well, it's too large. Italeri did some questionable choices with this payload.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

I think this is the Mantra Durandal but I agree, I haven't seen it on a Mirage 2000C before!

[@lohan-101]

Mirage😎 Was für eine Kamera und Edit Programm brauchst du?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Für die Videos vom Bau hauptsächlich mein Smartphone, für die Fotos eine Nikon P1000. Bearbeitung mit Lightroom, Picasa, paint.net und manchmal Topaz Photo AI

[@saatana42]

What is your next projects?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

I mentioned that in the video.

[@saatana42]
