The Mirage 2000 is a Fourth Generation jet fighter built by the Dassault Corporation and introduced in the 1970's. It was also developed into a multi-role platform. It is a good looking fighter I think and I really do like a lot of these European fighters, like the Viggen is also really nice.
This model kit is I think pretty good. This is actually an old Monogram kit first released in the 80's, and I did not look at that info until I was writing this, but was surprised that this kit is actually not bad at all. I added a lot of extra detail parts you could buy for it, but not all are necessary, but I would find mostly the PE and Pitot tube the best places to add a little extra. I am sure there are newer better kits out there, but this one still is not all that bad really.
So here are all the AM parts you can get, link to Scalemates. I am going to try to start doing this again.

Thanks for sharing. The kit has a major issue. The windshield and canopy of the M2K are blown. The windshield and canopy of the kit do not reflect this. Also, the lower canopy line follows on rearward from the windshield. It's a complete mess. In reality the lower canopy line dips substantially from the windshield. To make this kit a halfway accurate model requires a lot of effort. It can be done though.

So the shape if the cockpit frame around the canopy is wrong? I didn't see that really. I just like the aircraft and am not so familiar with the lines of it to be able to tell that it's wrong

@@mullinsclThe easiest way to get a result that vaguely resembles the actual windscreen and canopy would be to lightly sand the lower sides of the windscreen slightly inward and do the same with the fuselage where the windscreen is attached to. That would at least give the windscreen that blown look. I actually have this kit lying around somewhere. I think I might give it a go.

And being that the "better" Kenetic kit also has mistakes from what I read, I don't see the point of spending three times more if this one is good enough

This Mirage... Whats in the box? Old Monogram model. Mirage from Kinetic is much better.😄

First, of course it's a rebox of Monogram because at one point they were under the same management. Old Monogram kits are also not all that bad, or at least I have seen far worse from MPM and Academy not to mention others. The Kinetic kit is better of course but also costs more than three times as much as this one and as I have said many times I can't afford for every kit to be over 60 Euro. I don't get paid enough for that. On top of that the Kinetic kit also has problems like the canopy, waisting, and the wheel bays are not very detailed
