Academy 12248 1/48 Mirage IIIR Fighter

The Dassault Mirage III / 5/50 is a French single-engine fighter-attack aircraft with a delta-shaped lobe, without horizontal tail. In late 1955, Dassault began building a single prototype that retained the delta wing and an enlarged fuselage that could accommodate one SNECMA Atar 101G1 engine. The resulting Mirage III-001 was flown on November 17, 1956, to reach a flight speed of 1.52Ma after just two months. Technical data (version IIIC): length: 14.77m, wingspan: 8.22m, height: 4.25m, maximum speed: 2.2Ma, climb speed: 83m / s, maximum range (with additional tanks): 4000km, maximum ceiling 17000m, equipment: fixed - two 30mm DEFA 552 cannons, suspended (Mirage 5) - up to 4200 kg of cargo.
