ITALERI 1/48 MIRAGE F.1 CT/SR SPECIAL EDITION
IMPROVED MOLDS – SUPER DECALS FOR 3 VERSIONS – COLOR INSTRUCTION SHEET
The Mirage F1 was created by the French company Dassault to equip the departments of the Armée de l’air with a modern multi-role interceptor fighter capable of bisonic performance. The Mirage F1 entered service at the beginning of the seventies and was characterized by the swept wing and the Snecma Atar turbojet engine capable of making the aircraft reach a maximum speed of Mach 2.2. Over the years, various versions were created, many of which were intended for export. For example, the Mirage F1 CR was set up to carry out aerial reconnaissance tasks through dedicated internal equipment and the possibility of adopting external pods. The Mirage F1 CT, with improved avionics and the adoption of ground target identification and targeting systems, it was instead developed to be the replacement for the Mirage IIIE in ground attack operations. After a long operational career, in May 2014, the Mirage F1 made its last flight with the Armée de l’Air and was celebrated with the adoption of liveries commemorating the event.
