The Mirage 2000N is based on the Mirage 2000B two-seat trainer, but
features considerable changes. The airframe was strengthened for low-level flight and fitted with an Antilope 5 radar, which is used for
terrain following, navigation and ground mapping, and which can follow terrain at 691 mph (1,112 km/h). Other avionic features are twin INS's
and moving map displays for both the pilot and weapon systems officer.

The Mirage 2000N can carry one ASMP medium-range nuclear missile, and can also carry two MATRA Magic AAM's for self
defence. Other protection features include the Sabre jamming system and the Spirale chaff system.
Because the extra seat decreases range, a pair of drop tanks are carried.
I built my model from Eduard/Heller kit with excellent resin NeOmega cockpit set.
Painted with acrylics Gunze paints, weathered with oil paints and dry pigments.
