Mirage 2000C 1/72 scale model build, Italeri 1381.

[@carlosballesteros4670]

Absolutely stunning!!! No others like the French to create this beautiful beast.

[@MadeInScale]

@@carlosballesteros4670 Thanks!

[@charliebowman785]

Despite your complaints, the model jetfighter is very crisp. Well done Mr. Grumpy.

[@MadeInScale]

Thanks! I'm not a Grumpy :) I'm just being picky

[@charliebowman785]

@@MadeInScale OK Mr. Picky. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Looks like you enjoy being Mr. Picky; I love your work anyway. Thank you for the time. Kudos!!!!

[@okkami676]

Good tips on the Mr white putty+glue as well as the stretched black sprue as fillers. Good job!

[@MadeInScale]

Thanks!

[@markIburgess]

Nice work. We have a saying in England which is., Making a silk purse out of a sows ear. This certainly applies here.

[@mr.laughington5740]

Job well done, even old ugly kits can be beautiful as modern kits with modifications

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you

[@billpandos7962]

My congrats for taking an average kit (I'm being polite about the kit and Italeri:)) and turning it into a quality build. It actually depicts (the kit) a pre-production model, and I wonder why Italeri never produced a new mould.

[@foreverplastickits138]

*Excellent the mix glue+white putty, and good work on this Italeri kit! Looks great once finished! Only one little detail is missing : the brake hoses of the landing gear. Whatever, as french i really appreciate your Mirage 2000 in desert camo! 😍😍😍😄*

[@MadeInScale]

I agree that it would be better with hoses, but the chassis was generally made very simplified and wrong and the chassis would have to be completely redone. I tried to put more effort into the visible parts.

Hello! Just saw your video on this lovely airplane. I love how it turned out! Excellent work and I like how you allow the caption to run long enough so that there is enough time to read it 👍 I subscribe to your channel and look forward to watching more of your works of art!

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you!

Hello 👋 belle réalisation M20000C .RDI 👍 . Camouflage tempête du désert 1991 😉 .les z'ailes du haut doubs 👏

Merci

[@halsheeb]

Great build and amazing results out of a such kit. Well done.

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you!

[@chancerNW]

A stunning Mirage, your detail work and focus on accuracy is really impressive. Great video compilation as well.

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you

[@ianjackson7515]

Superb build of a very indifferent kit - got y'self a new subscriber ! Best from NZ.

[@MadeInScale]

Thanks for the sub!

[@nikoladze77]

Great work for this Puttyleri kit 👍

[@MadeInScale]

Thanks!

[@SolderMan22]

Excellent and very fine work. A sample of the excellent modeler that you are.

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you

[@cushionbelly2519]

What a talent. Brilliant scratch building to a tiny model. I've never used Mr Colour before. Is the slight sheen on the paint finish from the paint alone or do you add anything to it. I like the slight sheen to the finish and will start using it.

[@waynebrinker8095]

This kit lurks in my stash....thanks for showing how it could/should be done. Nice work! 100th like with no thumbs down.

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you.

[@TheModelorian]

This is great work! I like your approach to take a less than mediocre kit and make it into a beauty with nice little details and a superb finish. Looks perfect!!!

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you!

[@laMoort]

Great work and lovely result on such a terrible piece of plastic! :)

[@bugler75]

You achieved a wonderful result from an average kit. Well done! I built the same kit but it looks nothing like yours. Some nice tips there eg how to make air intakes easily. Thank you, Merci.

[@RWOModels]

Awesome build! I admire your patience and the effort you put into all those details. I’m currently working on an A-6 Intruder, also from Italeri‘s Gulf War series - not my first Italeri kit but probably the worst one I had... Thanks for sharing and keep up your great work! 👍

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you for your comment. I am currently working on Italeri A-7E. This is a really terrible set. I've been working on it for almost two months now and completing this work is already a challenge for me. Almost ready for painting and hopefully I will soon upload a video about this build.

[@RWOModels]

@@MadeInScale I visited my local hobby shop on the weekend, and I think they actually had the A-7E kit you are working on in stock, saw it there on the shelf. It's a great looking airplane but I instantly had to think of your comment regarding the "quality". :) Anyways, looking forward to your finished build, I'm sure it will look fantastic! My A-6E is also making veeery slooow progress... 😴🙂

[@fredtedstedman]

Great job , lovely aircraft ,pure elegance of form . have you seen the "Chevaliers du Ciel" clips on KZbin ?? WOW . Wales UK.

[@hankrol7830]

Very nice model of a worst kit. Learn something from you. How to make air scoops and placing small details.

[@MadeInScale]

glad you liked the video

[@ventdivin6121]

Great job! Soon a 2000 at Modelsvit

[@billscott1601]

I like your work.

[@julianroseroquintero7264]

I have the same model in my list to built the next month, but I gonna try to increase de span 4mm adding plastic on the wings root, and change a little de angle of the leadng edge and trailing edge. The model needs 6mm more in the span, but this make a the need of a major change of the leading edge.

[@MadeInScale]

Thanks for your feedback. I did not check the dimensions of the model closely and did not intend to make any major modifications.

[@neilhughes9310]

I understand that the Heller Mirage 2000s in both 1/72 and 1/48 remain the most accurate. Yes they have issues, but are worth tackling.

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Beautiful build.

[@josealejandroalvaradobotei8584]

Excelente video desde Chile abrazo me encanta los aviones el aeromodelismo gran trabajo 👍👍👍🇨🇱

[@SolderMan22]

Amazing work!!

[@stanislavsnek486]

moc pěkný...dotaz...cocpit je origo ze stavebnice, nebo si sehnal někde nějaký lepty???

[@MadeInScale]

Kokpit ve stavebnici je velmi chudý a na přístrojové desce nejsou žádné polepy. Tato kabinka je ze stavebnice, natřel jsem ji štětcem. Podívejte se na 2:46

[@jordiabr2063]

when you do the dirtying of the panel lines, do you let it dry before cleaning?

[@MadeInScale]

As a rule, yes, you need to let it dry.

[@pauldunne5713]

Very nice work to the kit. Just wanting to know, what colour did you use for the nose?

[@MadeInScale]

Thanks. For nose cone Mr. Color C307 was used.

[@MadeInScale]

My mistake, I correct color.

[@воронсерго]

отличьная работа -а вы собирате -48 масштаб ???

[@MadeInScale]

Спасибо за оценку. 48-й собираю немного, но не реактивы, ставить некуда 😁

[@воронсерго]

@@MadeInScale спасибо за ответ -давно -я собирал этот кит (там по моему -нос еше неверный) -но ваша сборка -просто завораживает

[@mikerinehart]

Where did you get the scale drawing you referenced?

[@MadeInScale]

I don't remember exactly, but I search in Google for "mirage 2000 blueprints"

[@Sprue_and_Glue]

Great build of a mediocre kit... you got the camo colours spot-on!

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you

[@egamez1]

What did you use to remove the wash?

[@MadeInScale]

I use odorless solvent for art oil paints

[@HeirweghB]

great build of a bad kit... = subscriber + 1

[@MadeInScale]

Thank you.

[@guyfromfuture1918]

Can this be built with gear up?

[@MadeInScale]

Yes

[@KhaledAwni]

Good job . How much is this model

[@MadeInScale]

How much does it cost? Or something else?

[@KhaledAwni]

@@MadeInScale YES HOW MUCH

[@MadeInScale]

In my local model stores I can buy this Italeri kit about 22 USD. But this kit isn't worth a penny at all. Now it’s better to buy a kit from Modelsvit. It is much more accurate and better. www.scalemates.com/kits/modelsvit-72078-mirage-2000c--1533785

[@AlexandrMI-]

После такого за Италери да же браться не хочется.... килограмм шпаклёвки...21 век, а у них уровень прошлого века.. Их да же Звезда с новыми моделями уделала.

[@MadeInScale]

Там нет килограмма шпаклёвка. Там жёсткий перепил и доработка. Пластик не стоит ломаного гроша.
