Hi everyone!

At our local club Sunday coffee, I got this unexpected gift...

...an Eduard Mirage 2000C that contains the elderly Heller kit with the usual number of Eduard goodies. The previous owner kept all goodies sans the decal sheet and handed it to me. Suffice to say my sons urged me to start it the same afternoon 😁. so, here is the progress so far, after basic assembly and elevons separation... . I have done too many gray/blue Mirage 2000, so I will opt for the very interesting desert French scheme, which seems to be a case of a sole aircraft having this camo field- applied during the Gulf War...

More to come!

P.S. Bye bye bench works prioritization 😄

Thanks my friend @j-healy!

This was a cool gift to get, Spiros (@fiveten). After your previous model, you should have all the kinks worked out. Desert scheme should look cool.

Good subject Spiros, I have the old Monogram Mirage 2000C which is slated to be a Desert Storm bird, a future build, which you might motivate me into getting started on it seeing your project coming along. Good stuff!

Some putty...

Thanks my friend @johnb!

Adding some interest to the plain flat main wheel wells...

...and landing gear installation...
