Fanchig AuthorThank you all, it give me some "good pressure" to continue, as, yes, sometime it is difficult to push it forward !
I have to say that I love Modelsvit products, but some few things are quite tricky on the Mirage 2000 kit ... but since, we have a very good détailed kit of a French plane for once ! (still impatiently waiting for the Super Frelon one day ... )

Chilly BillyI'm quite unfamiliar with Modelsvit kits. They are quite rare here in the U.S.. Is that wheel well detail from the manufacturer or aftermarket?

Fanchig AuthorYes indeed, last of Modelsvit models are really "all in the box" with very good injected details, some photo-etched parts, masks, all the decals including servicing ones, very nicely printed and thin.
On the 2000's there are even some rhodoïd precut glasses for the police light located in the left air intakes of the 2000 C / -5 ... and for now, I really wonder how I will glue those ...
All the pictures apart the resin seat are direct from the box, for the cockpit consoles, first a great photo-etched panel, then a decal, and the result is perfect.
However it is still some "hi class" short run, and there are quite some flashes, as well as misalignement of the cavities parting lines, that requires a lot of dry fitting to avoid filler as much as possible, as the engraving is so nice, it is somewhat difficult to restore. Let's say, is it not Tamiya shake and bake.
It is amazing to see the progress between the first Su-7 offer, that was so wonderfull facing KP old molds, with the latest Su17/22-M4, that is a gem !
This project was to use as much as given in the box in fact, even now, I regret not to have tried the seat with all the photeched belts and cushions, but more on that latter in the built.
I'm glad you enjoy the building !
