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.

![](/profiles/img/60714-348-s.jpg)
Thanks. 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

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

So at last the most complicated part of kit (truck) is completed. Unfortunately couldn't get rid of "orange peel" effect on body, tried two times with different paint/warnish combinations (I wanted to achieve silky gloss finish), but result was almost the same. Anyway too much time is spent on this kit so I leave all as it.

Thanks, Alexander!
For body I use Alclad Black Base + 3 wet coats of ModelMaster Sealer for Metalizer.

Alright so for my birthday I got a Creality Halot one plus with 100-240volt 50/60hz 100watt 3D printer but I lost the cable and havent found a replacement on the internet. Why am i telling you this? Because i was looking if someone knew what cable would be fit for it because i know a lot of scale modellers have 3D printers to make new parts and convert kits. Thanks in advance

Happy birthday Kesa, that sound like a great present. Is it the power cable you are trying to replace?
If so, I've just had a look and it looks like it might be what is usually called a 'kettle plug cable'. Google it and see if that looks like it'll fit. Kettle cables are readily and cheaply available online, but check at home first because there may be one in a drawer somewhere. I have a few from old computer devices.

![](/profiles/img/144821-523-s.jpg)
I got it last year and my b-day is on may 15 but thanks lol 🤣
I think i already knew it was a kettle plug cable but as with my laptop too it needs a sort of brick to not overcharge it. Im not really knowledgeable in this area so im just firing blindly

@Alex
I hope the manual will be better. It was a tough kit with in my opnion parts of the bodywork and the hood that were far to thick.
The moldings were exceptional with few seams and virtually no flashes.

Nice paintwork. Colors look good, I wouldn't worry that's an issue. Can always change the tone with a wash anyway. 👍

![](/profiles/img/119469-121-s.jpg)
Thanks! Yes that is very true. I think after the weathering I don't see the original colours too much..

A true legend! awesome painting, the chipping is just perfectly made for this particular jet, (not an easy task, theres a thin line between realistic used look and repainting the whole thing...)

Extremly nice and awesome details (overpainted insignia for example). Excelent. I'm curious how the phantom will look like in the end.
Is there a photo that you use as a reference?

Thanks for the comments!
Weathering was interesting, it is always difficult to balance realistic and nice looking. I'm glad you like it!
I used pics on the Internet and excellent fundecals instruction
for reference. And my books of course too.

I think the weathering has become great. The aircrafts were partly very weathered during the war.

Stunning looking F-4! 👍
I keep saying to myself that THIS will be the year that I pull my finger out and build one; but it never eventuates. This build has definitely renewed my desire to finally do it. 😉

Very great job done here : additional details, painting… Just awesome.
May I ask you why you also weathered the missiles ? On a real jet, if the machine is used and dirty, the munitions are usually brand news, so…

Really Really nice build and finish. Love the weathering, looks spot on to me..! Top Job.
