Revell 03995 Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet E (1/72)

Revell 03995 Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet E (1:72) is an extremely detailed plastic assembly model that faithfully recreates the French-German trainer and light attack aircraft Alpha Jet E in 1/72 scale. This model is produced by the renowned company Revell, ensuring high quality and precise reproduction of even the smallest details of the fuselage, ordnance, and cockpit.

The Alpha Jet E was developed as a result of a collaboration between Dassault Aviation (France) and Dornier (Germany) in the 1970s. The aircraft was mainly intended for training and light combat missions. The "E" variant (French: "Ecole" – school) was used primarily by the Armée de l’Air (French Air Force) as well as by other air forces, including those of Germany, Belgium, Portugal, and Egypt. The E version became especially renowned as the main trainer of the elite aerobatic team Patrouille de France.

The Alpha Jet E has served continuously from the late 1970s to the present day, participating in reconnaissance, training, and fire support missions during conflicts such as operations over the Sahel or NATO assignments. The model depicts a typical machine from the Cold War era and modern European air forces.
