Mirage IIICJ 768, The "First Jet" Squadron, Ramat David AB, Dec 1970 (1:72 Scale)

Product Dimensions: 8.22 x 4.48 x 2.46 in.

Model History and Information: The Mirage IIICJ, known in Israeli service as the Shahak, was the Israeli Air Force's first Mach 2 fighter; 70 single-seat examples were delivered between 1962 and 1964. It equipped 101 Squadron, Israel's first fighter squadron, formed in May 1948 and a core Mirage operator. During the 1967 Six-Day War, Mirage pilots claimed the majority of the Arab aircraft downed in air combat. After France's post-war arms embargo, Israel sustained the fleet independently, and the Shahak continued front-line service into the early 1970s in the air-defense and interception role depicted here. Specific individual airframe and basing details for this aircraft are not independently confirmed. The named serial, unit, date and finish on this model identify the individual historical subject represented: Mirage IIICJ 768, The "First Jet" Squadron, Ramat David AB, Dec 1970 (1:72 Scale).
