The first flight of the Mirage F.1 took place on 23rd December 1966
and production aircraft entered servicewith the French military as the
F.1C single seat fighter and F.1B two seater training versions. During
their service with France a number of these aircraft were upgraded by
fitting of IFR probes which resulted in the designation F.1C-200. The
air force also flew dedicated recce and ground-attack versions of the
F.1 designated respectively the F.1CR and F.1CT, the latter being
converted from the earlier F.1C-200 airframes. A total of 246 Mirage
F.1s of all versions served with the French and Dassault also tried to
offer the aircraft with a more powerful engine to Belgium, Denmark, the
Netherlands and Norway. These countries chose the F-16 instead and the
F.1E version remained only as a prototype. Nevertheless, the F.1 was
exported successfully further afield. In Europe, the F.1 flew with Spain
and Greece, in South America, the Mirage saw service with Ecuador, but
both in Africa and Asia, the F.1 airframes were widely used, namely with
Gabon, South Africa, Morocco, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Qatar and Kuwait.
Flying with these air forces, the famous Mirage F.1 saw service and even
hot combat action around the world, including mock fights over the
Aegean between Greek´s F.1s and Turkish jets, French aircraft were
deployed and used over Chad, Ecuadorian Mirages were put in combat
against Peru, South African aircraft successfuly fought Angola-Based
Cuban MiG jets and during in the Middle East, Mirages even fought on
both sides of the conflict between Iraq and Iran.
Our nicely and
precisely detailed model has now been restocked in limited number. The
kit comes on six styrene sprues, a single clear parts sprue and a few
resin cast parts. The decals cater for four Greek scheme options, one of
them wearing eye-catching anniversary colours, the other three in
various camouflage colours.
