1/72 Mirage IIIE/EZ fighter-bomber
ModelSvit Mirage IIIE/EZ fighter-bomber in 1/72nd scale is a detailed kit of the iconic delta-winged jet aircraft, famous as a versatile fighter and strike machine. In the box you will find 171 parts, 2 build variants (Mirage III and Mirage III EZ - different rudder and elevationarmour), 2 cockpit overlays (open/closed), etched parts (PE) and masks for painting. Included are decals for 3 camouflages (2× French Air Force, 1× South African Air Force) and a wealth of armament including Matra. Package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
The ModelSvit Mirage IIIE/EZ fighter-bomber in 1/72 scale is a kit for modelers who want a compact yet visually striking modern jet aircraft with a distinctive delta-wing silhouette and great potential for painting and weathering. The Mirage III is one of the most iconic European fighter jets of the Cold War, and the IIIE/EZ versions also fit perfectly into the “strike” concept—that is, as an aircraft that can look both elegant and rugged at the same time.
The kit is designed to offer both a clean “out-of-the-box” build and room for detailing. The package contains 171 parts and, most importantly, two assembly options: the Mirage III and the Mirage III EZ, which differ in their tailplane and armament. This allows you to choose the configuration that best suits your display case, collection, or specific diorama.
Another big plus is the cockpit options: you get two canopy options (open/closed), so you can easily choose whether you want an elegant, “clean” silhouette or, conversely, a more dynamic look with the cockpit on display. Add to that the photo-etched (PE) parts and painting masks—a practical combination that helps refine the fine details while also speeding up and improving the accuracy of masking the transparent parts.
As for markings, the kit includes decals for three camouflage schemes: two for the French Air Force and one for the South African Air Force. This offers nice variety and the option to build the Mirage either in the classic French configuration or as an attractive export variant that will immediately catch the eye in a display case.
Another strong point is the armament, which allows you to build the model as a true “fighter-bomber” rather than just a pure fighter aircraft. Inside the box, you’ll find:
- 2× Matra JL-100
- 2× Matra Magic II missiles
- 1× Matra R530 missile
- 2× 1,700-liter auxiliary fuel tanks (RP30)
- 2× 500-liter auxiliary fuel tanks (RP18R)
Overall, the ModelSvit Mirage IIIE/EZ 1/72 is an excellent choice for anyone who wants an iconic jet aircraft with meaningful build options, nice accessories—including photo-etched parts and masks—and the ability to build the aircraft in an attractive armament configuration. The kit does not include the paints or adhesives needed for assembly.
