Mirage IIICd - Israel Air Force (1:48) by Franklin Mint/Armour
Item Number: B11E775Approximately 13" (33 cm) in length. Wingspan approximately 6 3/4" (17.1 cm). �Its enemies,� claimed a 1956 advertisement for the newly unveiled Mirage, �think they can see it, but they won�t be able to shoot it down.� With its famous delta wing configuration and vertical tail surfaces, the French-built Mirage reached a speed of Mach 1.2 shortly after its introduction. Since then, Mirages have served in the air forces of numerous countries outside France. You�ll be impressed by the precise detail of this extraordinary model of the Mirage IIICd, accurate down to the landing gear and the markings of the Israeli Air Force. * Israeli Air Force
