Nice thread and masterful surface detail of scratch built Mirage 2000C.

Aviation Design just released one same size maybe bigger nowhere near as nice as Heribert's.
Well the AD mirage is detailed with the exact same technique: aluminium sheeting and rivets embossing.
The AD team worked hard to get the 25000 rivets laid down. On top of that, they have a direct access to a nearby Mirage 2000 and to Catia.
The plugs were partly CNC machined from the CAD documentation.
So let me tell you that this plane is scale to 1/10 th of a millimeter. Most of the scale features are CNC produced and the level of detail is breathtaking.

If you ever get a chance to approach one of this birds you'll understand what I am talking about...
