The kit
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/8/0/0/1629800-13581-16-720.jpg)
First job, paint as many pieces as possible on the sprues

Placing parts in the cockpit

![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/8/0/4/1629804-13581-48-720.jpg)
The ejection seats
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/8/0/5/1629805-13581-24-720.jpg)
I'm making the two kits I received
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/8/0/6/1629806-13581-37-720.jpg)
Gluing the walls of the landing gear boxes
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/8/0/7/1629807-13581-98-720.jpg)
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/8/0/8/1629808-13581-53-720.jpg)
I refined the edge of these parts so that it does not touch the fuselage
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/8/0/9/1629809-13581-34-720.jpg)
No interference!
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/8/1/0/1629810-13581-42-720.jpg)
For gluing the wings, my method is to start by gluing the extrados...
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/8/1/1/1629811-13581-76-720.jpg)
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/8/1/2/1629812-13581-65-720.jpg)
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/8/1/3/1629813-13581-60-720.jpg)
Then the lower surface on the fuselage on the nose side and the engine side
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/8/1/4/1629814-13581-63-720.jpg)
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/8/1/5/1629815-13581-46-720.jpg)
Then I glue the intrados to the extrados
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/8/1/6/1629816-13581-50-720.jpg)
and here is the joint line between the fuselage and the upper surface is correct
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/8/1/7/1629817-13581-93-720.jpg)
Installation of air inlet mice
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/8/1/8/1629818-13581-40-720.jpg)
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/8/1/9/1629819-13581-47-720.jpg)
and finally air inlets
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/8/2/0/1629820-13581-12-720.jpg)
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/1/6/9/1631169-13581-18-720.jpg)
Gluing the antennas, fins and control surfaces, and drilling holes for the different probes which will be glued later.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/1/6/8/1631168-13581-24-720.jpg)
Apply putty where it is needed
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/1/6/6/1631166-13581-17-720.jpg)

Base paint, green and blue gray
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/5/1/2/1631512-13581-65-720.jpg)
Painting almost finished, radome ok, nozzle ok!
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/5/2/6/1637526-13581-53-720.jpg)
The AMX is big or the M2000 is small?
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/5/2/4/1637524-13581-57-720.jpg)
Décals ok !
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/5/2/5/1637525-13581-87-720.jpg)
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/1/6/7/1642167-13581-68-720.jpg)
Decals OK for the second
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/1/6/6/1642166-13581-98-720.jpg)
I applied the varnish (glossy alcad)
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/1/6/2/1642162-13581-40-720.jpg)
the landing gears and gear doors are installed
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/1/6/3/1642163-13581-46-720.jpg)
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/1/6/5/1642165-13581-64-720.jpg)
the tanks are those from Syhart, very good material
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/1/6/1/1642161-13581-27-720.jpg)
the tank from Syhart, and that from Modelsvit
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/1/6/4/1642164-13581-25-720.jpg)
the gray SCALP missile is that of Modelsvit, the lighter one comes from the box of the Hasegawa eurofighter
![Album image #43 Album image #43](/albums/img/6/1/4/1642614-13581-22-720.jpg)
I tinkered with the pylon to add the MDD (Missile Departure Detector), it will be an illusion!
![Album image #44 Album image #44](/albums/img/6/1/5/1642615-13581-59-720.jpg)
Painting of all the carriages, still a few points to finish and it will be good... just missing the missile 🙂
![Album image #45 Album image #45](/albums/img/6/1/6/1642616-13581-18-720.jpg)
And here we are, we are getting closer to the weathering phase

Satin varnish past
![Album image #50 Album image #50](/albums/img/3/9/4/1654394-13581-68-720.jpg)
While waiting for the resin seats to arrive, I glued all the antennas, probes and installed the armament.

Salut Pierre
C'est la meilleure que j'ai trouvée, elle évite de flinguer la gravure du karman

Excellent tonal and sun bleaching effect on the camouflage. Very well done!
