Welcome Robert, Jennifer and Gorby, very pleased to have your interest 🙂 your definitely right there @gorby. I mean I'm used to building 'duff' old kits, but this kit is duffer than the duffest thing ever made by the worlds duffest person! If that makes sense! Hahaha 🤣🤣
20 February, 00:42
![](/profiles/img/23842-243-s.jpg)
With all the faith within me I summon blessings upon you in this build Neil. This one makes AA Models look like Hasegawa. With that said I felt a great sense of accomplishment upon finishing mine ( something I rarely feel).
20 February, 01:52
![](/profiles/img/21096-573-s.jpg)
it takes courage to even start such a great quality model.... but you are certainly getting good result out of it, looking forward the end result

![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Welcome! Thanks very much for all your encouraging words mates. You talented bunch are all very kind to show interest in my efforts with such a humble kit. It's definitely fighting me! I've got it a bit further along now, will add some imagery soon - we're at the primer, sand, prime, sand stage. Hahaha!

Thanks for wrestling with this beast of a kit so I don't have to. 👍 Looking good so far with lots of your elbow grease.
7 March, 21:56
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Cheers mate! 🙂 Thanks for your encouragement. I'll continue the battle on this one 👍
18 March, 19:53
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
I'm used to building old kits that need 'help'. But this one needs a bit more than usual. After a lot of pre-paint priming filling/scraping/hacking/filing/sanding work and then more post primer fiddling, it's beginning to take shape somewhat. I couldn't resist giving it a blast of aluminium lightly on the wings last night! 😉 👍
10 May, 13:12
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)
Remarkable perseverance and patience Neil. Most people would have given up on it by now.
10 May, 14:16
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Gorby 👍 Thanks mate! Yeah, I'll get it into some kind of Mustang shape hopefully.
10 May, 19:17
![](/profiles/img/15497-946-s.jpg)
I for sure would have given up!
a lot of work but the result is convincing 👍
11 May, 06:44
![](/profiles/img/106289-364-s.jpg)
Is it weird that I could feel your pain, just by looking at the photos of your build?
11 May, 11:36
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Thomas 🙂 yeah, it's tried my patience that's for sure. Thanks for your words of encouragement though mate, really appreciated 👍 I'll get there. At the end of the day, if it looks (a bit) like a Mustang then it is a Mustang!! Obviously it's no Hasegawa! @mike, hehehe. Yeah I've kept my language polite, but not surprised my pain was still apparent! 🤣 Thanks for dropping by 👍
11 May, 12:39
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Thanks Nathan - I know you 'appreciate' this kit journey also! I'm really not sure that a stars and stripes aluminium scheme is gonna be the easiest finish to help hide imperfections of this kit either. But I'll do my best 👍
15 May, 12:16
![](/profiles/img/31412-245-s.jpg)
Following! Watching your builds of those older kits is something I can never get enough of because of the quality of your builds and the nostalgia factor. Big Respect from my side. Greetings, Patryk.
15 May, 12:57
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi Patryk 🙂 Thanks mate! That means a lot. It's true that more often than not, it's a bit of a slog to get these oldies into shape. It's often tempting to bin one, hahaha 🤣 Especially when I look on the feed and see all these wonderful new kits which seem to (nearly always) fit in such an accomplished manner. But I rather masochisticaly choose to continue! Who knows why!? You're very kind, especially as I'm aware of your own skills. Greetings back atcha matey 😎👍
15 May, 20:27
![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hi mates. Thanks very much for checking in again and your encouraging words, hope you're both well 🙂 👍 Your feedback is most gratefully received and buoys me up to continue attacking this dastardly duo! POW! BANG! KAPOW! 👍 😉
28 June, 09:35
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
It'a always a joy seeing someone transform an older, ill-fitting kit into a work of art. following!

![](/profiles/img/49836-796-s.jpg)
Hiya CaptGPF 👍 you're extremely kind to me, I'm trying to drag this kit into something respectable, it's not the best kit (understatement!) But it is a stunningly beautiful airframe and surprisingly large too! Thanks for your compliment 🙏
@Mr D thanks very much for your message also, I've built a few metallic finish aircraft of late, with each build my ability to add shade and depth to a metal finish is improving, though a long way from great! 👍
Thanks also for the likes to all who've dropped by too 🙂 I've parked it for a few days again to let everything cure. But more pics again soon 👍

See what you mean, the canopy is 1:46 scale 🤣, lve often had to re-make parts from old spru's n use super glue-gel to build up poorly moulded parts. It's not good but part of modeling l think.
Looking good 👌
7 July, 08:42

I'm beating it into shape - slowly! Handful of recent pics added. Thanks for the likes all too 🙂 👍

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!

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…
20 July, 02:40
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
Selected "most appropriate" tail tip and mounted the correct nose to fuselage.
21 July, 20:04
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
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!
16 August, 18:29
![](/profiles/img/28845-385-s.jpg)
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.
28 August, 05:43
![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
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...

27 August, 13:25

Believe me, István, A-model kits are much more modeller-friendly than Mach 2... Take a look here, for example: modelingmadness.com/..korean/us/hammx2.htm
27 August, 15:20
![](/profiles/img/104687-298-s.jpg)
That's something to be excited about. Mach2 kits don't have the reputation of being shaking kits. 👍
27 August, 15:50
![](/profiles/img/10591-s.jpg)
As I said on the project, I wish you luck with this, it is something you seldom see, but it looks cool in the end. It is quite a long time ago when I did mine - al the best!
and, so far it does not look that bad for a mach2

It's such a cool subject, I remember seeing it in my dads airplane books when I was young.
27 August, 21:42
![](/profiles/img/69549-161-s.jpg)
Robert, once again you have chosen a great topic. The French experimental jet powered Leduc aircraft looked really futuristic at the time of its creation.
I wish you strong nerves and a lot of fun building your model!
27 August, 22:30
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Now I feel even more pressure 😉 ... @Bruce - I know what I am talking about, I have completed a few models from both producers already 😉 @Ludvik - I was lucky enough to see both Leduc 010 and 022 in Le Bourget museum and they still look futuristic imho 🙂

He certainly wouldn't be a disgrace as a space fighter in Star Wars. 😄

Still, the plastic is workable, Ben. As far as I have checked: it can be filed, filled, and glued... So, there is hope... 😄
28 August, 13:40
![](/profiles/img/43210-278-s.jpg)
I looked in the stash and I have a mach2 kit I bought when I was young and foolish.
28 August, 13:45
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I have five, not counting this one... Hmm...the testimony of what kind of mental disease it is? Nothwithstanding, only Mach 2 offered models of some exotic planes, like X-24.
28 August, 14:19
![](/profiles/img/20442-422-s.jpg)

Was the kit mould made from soap? 😄
28 August, 15:14
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
Thanks for your encouraging words, Gorby! ... It seems probable, taking into account that in some Mach 2 kits the material itself is "soapy"... 😄
