Heller STARTER KIT Mirage 2000 C

Includes glue, brush, and main colors. The Dassault-Breguet Mirage 2000 was selected in December 1975 as the fighter aircraft of the future for the French Air Force, for active service until 2000 and beyond. The delta-wing designs are a nearly unique group of high-tech fighter aircraft. The delta-wing design has significant advantages but also disadvantages. Dassault-Bréguet invested heavily in development and improved the performance of these aircraft. In the case of the Mirage 2000, this was significantly supported by the use of electronic control systems, as well as the development of fly-by-wire technology, which allows for complete monitoring of potentially unstable flight characteristics across the entire flight envelope. The single-seat Mirage 2000C first flew on March 10, 1978, and was officially introduced into service by the French Air Force in July 1984, where the upgrade of outdated Mirage IIIE (Fighter Squadron 1/2 "Cigognes" at Air Base 102 Dijon-Longvic) had begun.
