Hi Maciej 🙂 Excellent! Will do. I have a few Mirage 2000 kits in my stash. Including the Italeri Mirage 2000c, so will indeed follow 👍

Thanks Flight Line π and Stefan ππ very kind of you both to comment, I'm slower than ever on this one as trying to mop up a Spitfire, Stuka, Viggen, Eagle and a random kit bash also. Still if in doubt start another kit! π

Hi Mates! 🙂 Maciej: For 'brave' see stupid in my case 😉 Hopefully it'll work out as I'll be using my normal mix of artistic licence on these vintage kit builds. Arif: Hope to do your kind comment justice 👍

Looks great so far 👍 Very nice paint work!
I don't know if you already know this tape. I have had good experiences with this tape for masking curves

Hi mate 🙂 Hope you're well. Thanks for commenting... Yeah you're right. Lesson learnt! I looked online and almost ordered, then thought what the heck (this is supposed to be an in-between build) I'll just do it by hand and tidy-up the line afterward, what an idiot! Your suggestion is duly noted for future 🙂 👍

The Mirage 2000 is one of the nicest planes ever built, in my mind.
This nice sheme is original.
Well done Neil!

This must have been quite some work to work around the shortcomings of such an old kit. All the more impressive how it looks already, I really like the paint scheme! 👍

Great work so far Neil! It certainly does not look like a walk in the park! The paint job is very well done too. A very striking M2000!

Thanks @Charlie 🙂 That's really kind of you to say.
@Alexander - you know me, I've only got 'old stuff' in the stash that I try to make look halfway decent! Thanks for saying, that's really great of you. You're right none of these old kits usually go together easily... I haven't experienced what you guys call a shake n' bake build yet! haha! Though tbf I had more of a fit issue with the other Mirage I'm on the go with:

I also have yet to experience a shake 'n' bake kit, Neil, so you're not alone 😉

Hi Alexander - thanks. Yeah... It was a bit of a glib thing to have said on a global model building forum! When we all overcome issues with every build. Apologies 🙂 👍

No offense taken Neil, just a humorous remark. 😄
You obviously seem to have pleasure in tackling these kinds of kits, so go for it 👍

Bravo Neil. I don't do pointy jetty things myself, but this looks classy and really slick to me. Plus bonus points for using COP (Crappy Old Plastic!)

Hi Robert 🙂 Hope you're well. Thanks for your comment it's much appreciated... I'm getting there, slowly... Although, last night I had a minor undercarriage collapse/disaster - some of these ancient kits tend to fight me! I can see why many use the posh metal stuff in their builds. Hopefully I can fix, as spent a lot of time on this so far 👍
