Great work, looking forward to the finished birds!

 

I think Pablo is talking about the "Force Aerea Brasileira" text on the fuselage which should to my knowledge be in the same font (Amarillo) as the numbers on the tail.

Thank you for the hard work with the Mirage-2000!

@ace888, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. English is a barrier to me!

Thanks 'Elephant' reducing the color to a lite black almost medium grey does look more blend-in. Looks like a lot of re-work ahead.

 

Need to get the 'wording' closer together and larger triangle dots on the Forca and Aerea.

ace,

nice work on the indian mirages :clapping: .

 

however,I feel it needs a couple of corrections.

1) on the rudder, it should be Mirage 2000H & not "EH".

2) the font for the serial numbers are incorrect. Can someone suggest a accurate font for the Indian Mirage serial numbers( as shown below) ?. I tried, but could not find any accurate font.

ghostrider,

 

I try to find a good match. The only match was the 'KF' as for the number I was unable to find. That is why I used the 'font' that I used. As I have indicated. I had difficulty matching the fonts. Can only get close to but not exact on most of the Mirage skins.

 

Out of the country will continue work when I return...

Finally, half a day of hard work and it paid off! I added two more 'MOD' (Tail's forward ECM and the two RWR antenna). This will make the Dash-5/9 look as close as it will get... The mod will of course be added to the ROCAF, HAF, UAE, and Qatar.

 

Had to modified the color of the lower antenna for the UAE bird to look closer to the paint scheme, it was black before.

 

The UAE bird is actually a lighter color compare to the Qatari bird. But the color on the ECM/RWR seem to fit quite nicely...

 

I will be making appropriate colors for the ROCAF and the HAF Mirages.

 

Now I can concentrate on upgrading the decal filse... grin.gif

I take it back... I still have additional "MODs" to do heat.gif

 

EAF - Top and bottom antenna and the rear vertical tail RWR.

 

UAE - Top spin antennas that is base on the early Mirage 2000C with modifications. Also, under the forward nose is a "pair" of antennas unique to UAE.

 

Of course, the ROCAF and the HAF birds...

 

I think I have finally covered all the specifics on all the birds?

Almost there... I had to redo all of my skin plus adding a few. Still tweaking and checking all the files.

 

Discovered additional spine antenna that I had to mod on the HAF 2000C (last two photos).

I stumbled across a Mirage 2000-5 MK II and a 2000-9, are you planing to create those birds also?!

Blackbird,

 

I have that source as well. I will not be modding the B model of the Mirage, I am hoping for an updated model down the road. I have not master 3d Max but do plan a mod for the Indian Air Force Mirage 2000-9 upgrade aircraft.

 

This Mirage B was use as a test-bed for the Rafale program. I do plan to add the IRST on the HAL bird as "what if"

 

The actual upgrade for the HAL Mirage is not fully finalize but will be about the same as the UAE -9 birds with some differences.

 

I hope to finish this Mirage 2000 pack in early June.

it looks to me more like a test bench for Rafale systems (fitted with Rafale's cone), probably a new AESA + IRST sensor ?
