(EGG PLANE !!!) Mirage 2000
« on: May 07, 2011, 08:04:27 PM »
I like Egg-planes. AFV Club realised a splendid Mirage 2000, that will be completed by Retrowings cockpit & French pilot (with baguette...)

I envisage a very special "Tiger" deco. For that I've bought the Syhart decal sheet of the Tiger Mirage 2000 from 2004. That will be the base for my painting work, very different from the normal painting job...

When you open the box, you are surprised by the jewel that is inside... That Mirage 2000 is simply fabulous; so "sexy"...

The decal sheet of the kit is very nice too, but will be unuseful for me...

OK, you can see all the parts removed from sprue; and the parts that will not be used: the cockpit and pilot from AFV.

Done with the putty... I used Vallejo, perfect for the job!

Is that acrylic Vallejo you're using? I also find that one great for smaller corrections and hard to get places, where simple wet Q-tip solves the problem of excess putty...
For the model: :-eek :-love

Yes Profa, it's the acrylic Vallejo. As you say, simply perfect for smaller corrections. To remove the excess, I let the putty dry then I remove the excess with a toothpick...

"White day" today: primer airbrushed...

The second figure (coming from the game Blood Bowl) will serve for tests when painting the pilot, to try to find good "lights" and "darks"...
