About product

The Dassault Mirage IIIE in 1:72 scale, an ARK Model kit

A plastic kit of the French Mirage IIIE fighter in 1:72 scale from the ARK Model brand. It is an injection-molded kit meant for gluing and painting, so the model is not supplied assembled. The exact contents of the package, the number of parts and the number of marking schemes are stated on the packaging of the kit.

The real subject

The Mirage III is a French single-engine fighter of tailless layout with a delta wing, that is, without a horizontal tail surface, controlled by means of surfaces on the trailing edge of the wing. The IIIE version was a multirole fighter and attack variant with a lengthened forward fuselage, which created room for extended equipment for attacks on ground targets. Power was provided by a SNECMA Atar jet engine. The type was among the most successful European combat airplanes of its era, flew with a number of foreign users and became the basis of further branches of development. The delta wing gave good speed at altitude and a simple structure in exchange for a higher landing speed.

Building and painting tips

Cut the parts off with nippers and clean up the parting lines. Glue with a thin cement for plastic, which is drawn into the seam by itself. On a delta wing it pays off to give attention to the transition between wing and fuselage, where filler and sanding tend to be needed. Finish the cockpit and the nose landing gear before closing the fuselage up; on airplanes with a long forward section, weight ahead of the center of gravity often helps as well, so that the model does not sit down on its tail. Lay down a primer before painting, apply the decals onto gloss varnish and in the end even the surface out according to the scheme chosen.

Who the model is for

  • anyone interested in French postwar aviation technology
  • modelers in 1:72 scale building Cold War fighters
  • intermediate builders used to filling and sanding
  • collectors of types with the striking silhouette of a delta wing

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was a multirole fighter and attack variant with a lengthened forward fuselage, which created room for extended equipment.

The exact number of parts is stated on the packaging of the kit.

On airplanes with a long forward section and nose landing gear it usually pays off. Try balancing the model dry before you close the fuselage up.

The transition between wing and fuselage usually calls for filling and sanding, so rather for a modeler with several builds behind him.
