Re: Close Up of upcoming Mirage 2000s

I've got both of these on order and they look pretty good, except for the overly dark panel lines. If only we could convince HM to soften these lines on lightly colored aircraft. The desert Mirage is a good example. It would look so much better if the density of the panel lines varied by 25% or even 50% in some areas. Lines indicating major features like wing flaps could be darker while those for fuel intakes, hatches, etc. could be lighter. Instead, we get an unrealistic uniform look which bothers many who collect planes from this otherwise terrific new manufacturer.

Re: Close Up of upcoming Mirage 2000s

I must be in the minority because I love HobbyMaster's dark lines. They bring out the details better and it sure beats the heck out of me having to ink them myself. I like the desert Mirage as well.

Re: Close Up of upcoming Mirage 2000s

These look really sweet. The big problem with the Mirage is going to be that I want all of them!

Re: Close Up of upcoming Mirage 2000s

Looks nice- might have to get the second one. Though I do agree that the panel lines look harsh. Sometimes that is a photo artifact rather than reality though.

Re: Close Up of upcoming Mirage 2000s

OMG! I think I can barely make out instruments on the dash! Why couldn't HM do that on the last few releases like the Hellcat and Mig 21?

Very nice! I will definitely be getting the blue/grey version...and the Desert Storm one is starting to grow on me also!

Re: Close Up of upcoming Mirage 2000s

I really like them both! But if you could only have one, which version is the most representative of the mark?
