Kinetic 1/48 Mirage 2000B
The French Mirage is among the most elegant aircraft ever produced. Kinetic managed to capture well the sleek lines of the Mirage 2000 variant.
The kit is good, but not trouble free. The fit of parts is has more to be desired. Whenever I build a Mirage kit of any manufacturer, I start with the attachment of the engine intakes to the fuselage. At this early stage, considerable adjustments can be made to have the cowlings in line with the fuselage surface. The attachment of wings to the fuselage is another hurdle. Unfortunately, sub-assemblies are already installed by then and limit the ability to close the the joint areas. Yet, it can be done. In this particular case, the fit was better than earlier Mirage variants produced by Kinetic.
Rafi, your builds are perfect. The weathering and the color work is beautiful.
