The Alpha Jet is the result of Franco-German cooperation initiated in the 1960s. The aircraft played a key role not only as a trainer but also as a light attack aircraft. The Alpha Jet E variant was the mainstay for training French pilots, while the Alpha Jet A was widely used in the Luftwaffe. The machine is particularly recognizable thanks to the Patrouille de France aerobatic team.

The Italeri kit faithfully recreates panel lines, cockpit and landing gear details. The decals allow you to build the model in the chosen version with authentic markings. This model is an excellent choice for modelers interested in modern military aviation and fans of Western European aviation history. Especially recommended for dioramas and thematic collectors' displays.
