Build a detailed replica of the legendary French Dassault Mirage III R reconnaissance variant with this precision 1/48 scale model fromAcademy Models. The Mirage III R was a specialized photo-reconnaissance version of the iconic delta-wing fighter, serving with distinction in the French Air Force and several export operators during the Cold War era.
The Dassault Mirage III R was a dedicated reconnaissance variant of the famous Mirage III fighter, developed to provide the French Air Force with high-speed, high-altitude photo-reconnaissance capabilities. The R-variant featured a modified nose section housing five OMERA cameras in place of the fighter’s radar and cannon armament. Powered by a SNECMA Atar 9C turbojet producing 13,230 pounds of thrust with afterburner, the Mirage III R could reach speeds of Mach 2.2 and operate at altitudes exceeding 55,000 feet. Its distinctive delta wing design provided excellent high-speed performance and maneuverability. The aircraft entered service with the French Air Force in 1963 and also served with several export customers including Switzerland, South Africa, and Pakistan. The Mirage III R proved highly effective in its reconnaissance role, combining speed, altitude capability, and advanced camera systems to gather vital intelligence.
This unassembled plastic model kit requires plastic cement, paint, and modeling tools. We recommend using authentic French Air Force colors including Natural Metal, Light Gray, and appropriate camouflage schemes for period-accurate finishes.
