1/48  Italeri Mirage 2000

Tiger Meet 2001

This is my Italeri 1/48 Mirage 2000 built OOB with Two Bobs decals.

I had no major problems building this kit. Everything fit together fine with no major seam filling. The only major fix I did was to fill in the panel lines on the radom.

I used MM Acryl to paint the model. I love this paint. No problems with clogging or anything. It goes down smooth and small runs dry up and disappear overnight. I sprayed it through my Aztec airbrush.

The decals are from Two Bobs and are fantastic! There was no bleed through of the underlying paint color. The hardest part was applying the tiger head and arm.  I had to cut it into three parts so I could apply it without trouble. I used plenty of MicroSol to get it to conform to the curves on the tail and rear fuselage. The decals did not silver and did not give me any headaches.

Overall I enjoyed building this model. The Two Bobs decals were a joy to apply, and the model went together easy and did not give me any problems.
