Such a cool paint scheme.....

Too bad I was in a hurry to this kit - it truly shows. Spent a week building and using an eduard PE set on the italeri Mirage 2000C kit. The decals (two bobs) took a week to apply, but well worth the effort. I will redo this kit someday as I think the italeri kit is pretty good and I just love the paint sceme. Something has to be said about the Tiger meet scemes, they are just so creative. I will spend some time not screwing up each and every subassembly and do proper research.

Thanks for taking a look

[bow] I don’t think I have the patience to apply decals for a week. That is indeed an attention grabber of a paint job.

That’s nuts! Cool job, Wibhi2- and cool decals!

Awesome job!!! I agree with tedhealy: you’ve gotta have a lot of patience to do decals for a week!

Wheres the paint start and decals end. that scheme is so cool.

It wasn’t so much that the decals took a week, but the amount of micro-sol I had to use to get them to set properly on the compound curves and some of them took several applications. Then there was the 2 or 3 decals to make a single graphic. can’t rush this stuff - as much as I wanted to :0)

Great job of all the decal work!

If you hurried it doesn’t show from here. Great work! How did the office come out with the PE stuff?

Amen! Regular decals take me about that long because of the multiple applications of Micro Sol, but the results are well worth it!

You’ve made a great looking kit, and it doesn’t look rushed at all to me.

Thank you all. The photos belie the physical. When I got to the decal stage, I found that I had to break off the canards and probes to put on the decal around the intake trunks. Invariably, they never go back on the same way.

thevinman - that does look like a real cool paint scheme. I wonder if they do that in 48th?

Go for it Vinny! That scheme is too cool to pass up.
