Today I would like to
present to you my Mirage 2000D 626 of EC.3/3 Ardennes, AFB Nancy Ochey in
2000. The model kit was Kinetic in 1/48 with some parts from the older Eduard kit,
like decals, resin and photo etched parts. I finished the aircraft with
ModelMaster Colors olive green (RLM80) and grey violet (RLM75). For camouflage
scheme I used BluTac stripes. I tried this for the first time. Even though this
was kind of time-consuming, I was contended entirely with this.

Based on photographs, I
reconstructed asymmetrically the aircraft with Wing Tank, Centerline Tank, ATLIS
II Targeting Pod, AS-30L air-to-surface missile and two Inerte Matra Magic 550.
The AS-30L was painted in natural metal and refined with decals from my leftover
box. Unfortunately, the engine nozzle from the kit was not sufficiently detailed. So I
supplemented it with several parts from my leftover box to reconstruct it true
to the original. The flaps were very advantageous to be built lowered.
In summary, this was an excellent
model kit and I really enjoyed this. Besides D version, B or N can also be
built. However, for N version the ASMP is missing. Due to the good molding of
the kit, I can highly recommend this to everyone. I hope you enjoyed viewing my
model...
