Pretty happy with the nose. Filled and sanded the wrong panel lines and rescribed what was missing. Primer to check for ...

Cristian AWonderful start for your signature plane, following closely with interest 👍😊

DerMattes AuthorWelcome onboard Cristian. This starts as a challenge for me because of the planned modifications.
There are many differences between this kit and a -9 variant. The decal set has some resin parts and I already used the resin exhaust from cults3d (as in my previous M2k build here: Mirage 2000C 5-OP - Operation Daguet | Album by DerMattes (1:72) ) as well as my first self designed 3d printed part, the cockpit dashboard.
Biggest challenge will be to mount the leading edge flaps in lowered position somewhat believable for this scale.

DerMattes AuthorFirst try on dry fitting the lowered leading edge flaps, after just a little bit of cutting, sawing, sanding, filling and sanding 😉

GuidoThat is indeed a bunch of improvement work that needs to carried out.
I have a whole bunch of Mirages in my stash, so maybe it's time to get started with them... 😄
Good luck with the rest of the build, I'll be following.
