This project will have both pilots on the intercom and watching the engine startup process. That is why the same type figure is used in both cockpits. They both monitor the engine to ensure that the EGT and RPM is increasing appropriately. Each has their hand on the control stick to be able to open their MIC as they confirm everything is normal at start. The plan is to have the aircraft loaded with a Nuke (Apache Cruise Missile?). Seems appropriate to me for the days we live in now...

Maybe go for resin seats as well?
Seems like kit plastic never can compete with resin seats. 🙂
Though, I no longer crave for resin interior for the cockpit because of the work, but seats are ok.

I'll paint these up and see if I can tolerate them. If they are too bland, I have time to change my mind! Thanks for the idea!

Great video of the weapon that goes with this version of the Mirage 2000N

As I have begun work on this kit, I am yet again struck by the lack of information in the variations and options provided in the kit. For example, the tail tip is not called out that applies to the 2000N version. While the nose of the 2000D is provided in the kit, it has to be modified to make it correct for the 2000N. Oh bother…

Selected "most appropriate" tail tip and mounted the correct nose to fuselage.

Okay, now I'm excited to get some paint on this cockpit!!! ResKit, you guys have done some great work with your 3D Resin Printing!

Oh, did you fiddle with the nose part to make it match the N version, or did you have to buy aftermarket nose for the N version? I have this kit in my stash, but haven't really looked any it yet.

I'm using the D nose but converting it to an N version. I'm also closing the "sucker doors" on the inlets to represent an engine that is not yet started... I'm assuming initial hydraulic power is applied from the APU and auxiliary hydraulic pumps have brought the gear door up. I'm going to close the speed breaks for pre-engine start configuration...

Looks like BAM has some corrected noses still need the N one. Maybe reach out to him. I could use the corrected nose for this kit also. The Reskit stuff looks amazing.

Thanks for the heads up! The BAM nose looks fantastic! Sadly, the 2000N nose has a pitot tube and does not have the RDY antenna lines. It seems that much of the 2000N systems are somewhat earlier than the -5 systems. Everything I can find on the 2000N seems to be somewhat austere compared with the 2000-5. The ResKit cockpit is worth every penny!

Like it 😀👍
Nice when the pilot looks like he's actually doing something and engaged with the craft.

Thanks. It's really sad to remove detail from the ejection seat, but that is the only way to get the pilot in place...

The pilot is from REEDOAK. They have several different figures in various poses so the realism can be developed based on the aircraft scenario. This model is being build to represent events just prior to engine start.

Remaining cockpit items:
1. Glass
2. Decals on seats
3. A little more weathering
4. Fix pilot's France Flag
5. Add WSO's Right shoulder patch
6. Check that I can get the canopy actuators in after everything is assembled...
7. Add HUD glass

The glass and HUD went in great! I had to lightly sand the edge of the glass to get it to fit snugly into the ResKit frame between the front and back seats. I used 1000 grit and lightly buffed all the way around the edge. Fits perfectly!

Cockpit is done! Looks like the ResKit cockpit tub fits perfectly! Lots of trimming to get the crew in the proper fit. Right now, I think it's ready for final checks before fuselage join. The forward control panel needs some sanding for fit, but it does work. I have left the seats, pilots and control panels loose until final fuselage join just to have "wiggle room" before closing. I was able to adjust the forward control stick to make it match the pilot's hand more closely. Just need to check a few more things and then join the fuselage halves!

@Lukasz, this kit is not bad. I have done some scratch, like seat belts, collective pitch levers, panel and console due to missing details on cockpit. The Hobby Boss SH/HH-60 family is the good one 😉

Coming along nicely, like the extra touches you have done, HB can simplify a bit.
I just purchased the Zvezda Mi-8, will be my first helli.
Top stuff will keep an 👀 on this build.
😀👍👍

Thanks guys for your comments and likes. @Mr D, I will build, HB Mi-8MT next year, but I will mix with part of Zvezda 7253 (Mi-8MT) if I find one 😉.

I know there running a bit short on them at min, l found my one on Amazon... being sent from Germany, l think it's maybe some kind of trade sanction going on with Zvezda being in Russia??
Good luck with your build 😀👍

@Mr D, I found one on an Spanish website and I am going pick up it today 😉. I have also got some aftermarkets from an Spanish scalemate.

Great 😃👍
Servalpe, My Mi-8 arrived today, looks really good, box is big for 1:72.
I have a Diorama in mind 🤔.
Good luck.

@Mr D, the box is the Zvezda small one. The HB kit is better than Zvezda one. It's has more accurated, has detailed external parts and cockpit. The advantages of Zvezda is that has seats and doors for cargo cabin and weapons supports ( I will use this parts) and has raised rivers. HB model has not any rivet.

Hi Servalpe,
Ok thanks, sounds like you can make one good one out the two kits ?
I was considering the HB one but l liked the idea of the kit being from Russia for my planed Diorama... I'm going to do a Chernobyl disaster Diorama, with the Mi-8 dropping the sand n lead bags on the damaged core.
There is a guy on eBay selling the 3d printed damaged power station.
It will be view looking down from Mi-8 as station is small.
Some UV led's be nice for the core.
The Blackhawk is looking really good 👍👍
I'm build the HB IAR-80 at min, it's been ok build so far. Instructions bit weak !! But nothing that isn't obvious. If lm ever unsure l watch YouTube vids
Thanks for the advice n good to hear about you ideas for your mi-8 build 👋😃👍
