The
kit is quite good featuring realistic engraved panels on all surfaces. The
Heller kit depicts a Mirage
2000C
which I converted to a HAF Mirage 2000-5 EGM. EGM means that this
particular aircraft is modernised; Actually, it is the ex-Mirage 2000 EGM 227.
A
lot of work was required on the external surfaces of the model, especially on
the self-protection system antennae. Internally, the cockpit was made with
the use of an aftermarket Mirage
2000C
cockpit which was improved to 2000-5 level with the construction of three lcd
monitors and some levers.

Painting
I
used black and 126 grey from the Humbrol range for the cockpit, while for the
external surfaces I used 127 Molak light grey and a mix made of a little 28 and
144 by Humbrol.
