Repaint And Realism: Mirage 2000C

Realism in Repaint

The Mirage 2000 is the next model in line for modification - both paint and realism. First lets look at the paint: The standard colors were replaced by red, for example any C value was replaced by C 255 0 which is red. The area this color applies to then is indicated. The next step was to use the color picker site to get the correct camouflage colors for the Mirage 2000, the Dassault Mirage 2000 -C of the French Air Force. The canopy was of black was replaced by darker colors, same as the F-16 canopy.
