Historical Information

The Dassault Mirage III and Mirage 5 are legendary French supersonic fighter jets which entered service in the 1960s, during the Cold War era. These aircraft were widely employed by the French Air Force, and used by many militaries around the world, including Israel, Switzerland, Australia, Pakistan, and Argentina. They took part in numerous military conflicts – for example, the Mirage III gained fame during the Six-Day War in 1967, while the Mirage 5 variant was used during the Falklands conflict in 1982.

Technical Description and Assembly

The set includes a turned Pitot tube with perfect geometry, which, once installed on your model, significantly increases the accuracy and realistic appearance of the fighter. Replacing a plastic part with a metal version improves its durability and elevates the overall quality of the model. Assembly is simple – just drill a hole in the aircraft's nose and glue in the tube using cyanoacrylate adhesive.
