BozzerI'm glad I came across this, and from one of my favourite builders too
Back in the 90's I had an escort, just like this. It was my first decent car, and it cost me a lot of money. I remember going to the bank, for a loan, to buy it! I had to have an interview with the bank manager, before he approved the loan. Boy, how things have changed!
Anyway, I loved that car so much, that I found this exact kit, and built it while on vacation. It didn't last, because my boys were young and they liked it and used it as a toy. Skip forward 30 years and I go in search of the kit. I find the Revell version, and the AMT version! Only last week, did I actually get the correct colour for the car I owned, from the car spares store!
I think you know, what my next build is going to be 😉

Dominik Weitzeri like your story 🙂
I didn't know the difference between the amt and revell kit. I think, they are not unboxed from amt to revell. all i see are different bumpers and LHD on the amt.
Thats interesting!
i had nearly similar story :-D
In the company where I did my training as a car mechanic, there was such an Escort XR3i for sale, which I wanted. Unfortunately, I was too young... and could not afford it. The escort was sold very quickly.
That's why I had to build it red. looking forward to your build. Bozzer

Donnacha FoleyHi I purchased Peddinghaus 1/48 decals. After applying decal softener they can still be seen on the Aircraft. Have you come across this problem?

TcampI reworked the main jib boom
I wasnt feeling the kit one
Its still a work in progress
2 October, 21:03
TcampThank yall
Im not a rivet counter or anything but.....
The more i looked at the kit boom i could not figure how it would work ..
Revell had their boom right im also going to support mine as they did and use poles instead of ratlines. Which tie down inside of the work area ?
Im not feeling that one either lol
Again thanks

M0rceOooohhh... so nice 🙂
A Lindberg kit? Seen them but never got one, yet. That looks amazing.
3 October, 12:21
M0rceThe details on this kit are so crisp. Looking forward to seeing what you're doing to the rear section.

Desert MarlinThis 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...
8 November 2023, 22:16
TreehuggerMaybe 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.
9 November 2023, 05:17
Desert MarlinI'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!

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

25 November 2023, 00:46
Desert MarlinAs 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
Desert MarlinSelected "most appropriate" tail tip and mounted the correct nose to fuselage.
21 July, 20:04
Desert MarlinOkay, 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
TreehuggerOh, 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
Desert MarlinI'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...
28 August, 17:36
Eric ThorntonLooks 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.
bam-models.com/produ..2000-corrected-nose/
30 August, 13:57
Desert MarlinThanks 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!
30 August, 14:59
Mr DLike it 😀👍
Nice when the pilot looks like he's actually doing something and engaged with the craft.
30 August, 15:22
Desert MarlinThanks. It's really sad to remove detail from the ejection seat, but that is the only way to get the pilot in place...
30 August, 22:47
Desert MarlinThe 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.
31 August, 01:50
Desert MarlinRemaining 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
1 September, 03:07
Desert MarlinThe 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!
3 September, 16:01
Desert MarlinCockpit 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!
4 September, 22:19
Laurent VILLANUEVA HELLER ForEverattention aux couleurs sur les notices kinetic etc , certaines sont fausses!
5 October, 11:29
Dave FlittonThe pilots look like they are impatiently waiting for you to finish the aircraft so that they can fly!
6 October, 00:31
Desert MarlinI got the canopy frames in the mail. The "detchord" in the forward canopy is perfect!
14 October, 21:27
Mr DDone a really smart job on cockpit n pilots 😁👍
It will be show peice of the Aircraft so worth the effort,
Did you have decals for the green display screen's ??
14 October, 21:43
Desert MarlinIJN Green is NOT the correct green for these planes. Sorry Kitty Hawk, just not right...
28 October, 01:29
Desert MarlinSmall Disaster. Soured Paint/Gloss has occurred. I'm a little bummed. It takes longer to get everything finished!
29 October, 18:15
Desert MarlinUsing water and a paper towel(s), I am able to verify where the soured paint/gloss has occurred. It has to be removed since the decal process will definitely find the errors during application. If the coating cannot stand water, it will never support the markings...
29 October, 18:20
Desert MarlinPanel line accent applied. Need to review and clean up anything out of place and then apply some poly to get ready for markings! Also need to fix the wing slats on the left wing. The method for mounting these slats is really weak...
2 November, 04:08
Desert MarlinPretty much done. I need to research a little bit, but there is history between the USA and France where the indigenous peoples are concerned. Suffice it to say that this image of an Indigenous Chief at the Wailing Wall and this particular Mirage 2000N seem to intersect just a little bit.
8 November, 03:28
Desert MarlinMore pictures tomorrow evening. The build is essentially done at this point so more pictures are needed! Cheers!
