Ivan Ivanovich Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 If all goes well, it's going to be a hot autumn for some gentlemen... Preliminary distributor release date: August 2019 (Mirage 2000C) KH32020 - MIRAGE 2000 C (single-seater boxing) KH32022 - MIRAGE 2000 D/N (combined twin-seater boxing) Mirage 2000C boxart: To date, one can only speculate whether the C boxing will also contain the necessary parts to build a Mirage 2000-5. (box says "C", artwork shows a "-5" with a 2000C vertical tail) Recently published CAD renderings of the Mirage 2000C: Mirage 2000D/N boxart: <excitement intensifies> 4
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted March 28, 2019 Administrators Posted March 28, 2019 It'll build into a decent model I'm sure. 2
HubertB Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I remember having had (private) discussions with Glenn about this one back in early 2012 ... I hope this could be a good omen for another of my pet projects, which we discussed at the same time Hubert 2
Ivan Ivanovich Posted March 28, 2019 Author Posted March 28, 2019 It'll be interesting to see which marking options will be included. An almost limitless plethora of colourful special schemes. Mirage 2000-5F: Mirage 2000C: Mirage 2000D: Mirage 2000N: And now bring on the Ouragans and Mystères! Or an MS.760 Paris... 3
GusMac Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Yeah, the Greeks do a great line in grubby airframes. Pity they only fly the single seaters as this is one kit where I'd really go for the dual-holer. Never built a KH kit and I know they have some real Marmite reviews but this one will be seriously tempting. 2

Between 1975 and 1980, I must have have spent all my pocket money on ZACK and Buck Danny comics. Fond memories. 4
Guest DannyVM Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 It's gonna be hard times for me this year.................... Mirage 2000C Mirage 2000D Mirage 2000N Fouga Magister...........Ouch my wallet.................

You can't have enough Fougas. Just sayin'... (I need at least two DACO kits) One, maybe two 2000Ds. As to the single-seater, I need to see the sprues first. If it's going to be a "2000C-only" boxing, I'm out... I'll know for sure when I see the plastic. One of my personal favourites - "Cote d'Or" Mirage 2000-5F in experimental three-tone grey camo: 3

The French always where busy guy's when it came to nice color scheme's. The choice will be hard to make which i will do......

Ivan Ivanovich Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 Happy times, indeed. 1/32nd is the perfect scale for a Mirage 2000 or a Fouga Magister. Not too small, not too big. Just about right. I've also got a feeling about Kitty Hawk. But let's see some plastic first... Lovely to "C" you - Mirage 2000C (RDI), EC 2/12 "Picardie": The early years in French service - Mirage 2000C (RDM) of EC 1/2 "Cigognes": 2

Never built a KH kit and I know they have some real Marmite reviews but this one will be seriously tempting. Just pull out your modeling common sense, and research the exact aircraft you want to build before starting the build. Sometimes the add-on details such as electronics, ejection seats, weapons stations, sensor locations, etc, are generic on KH. Mix and match the parts to get your exact ship. you'll be rewarded with an amazing piece when finished. A word to the wise, KH, for some reason, believeth not in intake trunking to what are often beautifully executed and detailed jet engines.... 3
Ivan Ivanovich Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 "Never kandaharhar at a grubby Frenchman!" Fairly weather-beaten 2000D (by French standards): @GusMac What Ernie said, Kitty Hawk kits can be extremely rewarding once you've sorted all the odds and ends. 4
