About this model

The Mirage 2000 was developed as a lightweight fighter for the French Air Force, first flying on 10th March 1978. A fourth generation design derived from the Mirage III, it has a delta wing, single engine and dual intakes, and can carry a range of air-to-surface munitions including laser-guided bombs.

This Hobby Master release is built largely from diecast metal, with plastic used for the side-mounted intakes to improve accuracy. The canopy is posed open, revealing the instrument panel, control stick and ejection seat, and the rear turbine blades are visible within the exhaust nozzle. The metal wing carries fine panel line detail, flap and aileron actuator arms, and a full set of removable wing-mounted ordnance. The model comes boxed with landing gear and a display stand that presents the aircraft as if in flight.
