Hello to everyone!

Here's a finished model of mine, a Mirage 2000N from Heller kit no 60424 (with the brown sprues) and made it OOB. I brush painted it with Humbrol enamels, 140 for the dark grey, 117 with a few drops of black for the green and 127 for the light grey on the undersides.
I used decals from Kinetic kit for the squadron markings, along with the magic II missiles, wing fuel tanks (i had to reposition them by 2mm away from the kit's pylon holes) and the vertical fin which is the wrong for the version, i should have placed the one for the B but when i realised it, it was too late. I was carried away by Kinetic instructions).

It has a few mistakes, but i hope you like it!

Hello,

Don't care for the mistakes, it's a very very nice model.

I wish you to build a lot like that.

Hello Panos,

Your Mirage 2000N has a good rendering. I see you've added some details on the u/c legs (brake pipes). Bravo !
I find the dark grey of the uppersurfaces looks a bit too light.

Thank you all for your kind words! Glad that you like it.
I am not worrying very much about the mistakes, i'm learning from them and trying to avoid repeating them in the future.

Jicehem, thank you and yes, the grey is lighter than it should be! I am planning to use a darker grey on the D i'm also building.
