1/72 Myasishchev M-55 "Geophysica"
The Mirage G8.01 Experimental Fighter in 1/72 scale by Modelsvit is a French prototype of a fighter aircraft with variable wing geometry, developed in the 1970s. This unique experimental aircraft was tested for the possible development of a supersonic multirole fighter, but the project was eventually cancelled. The kit includes detailed plastic parts, a realistic cockpit, movable wings and decals for prototype markings. The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
The Dassault Mirage G8.01 was an experimental French fighter aircraft with variable wing geometry, based on the earlier Mirage G prototype. This concept was inspired by American aircraft such as the F-111 or F-14 Tomcat and was intended to allow better performance in various flight modes - extended wings for better maneuverability at lower speeds and retracted wings for high speed supersonic flight.
The first flight took place in 1971, but the project was soon cancelled due to high costs and changes in strategy by the French Air Force, which eventually focused on developing more conventional fighter aircraft such as the Mirage 2000.
The 1/72 Modelsvit Mirage G8.01 kit features precision-machined plastic parts with fine engraving of panel lines, a detailed cockpit with realistic controls and the ability to move the wings. The model includes decals to match the real prototype, allowing for a faithful rendition of this unique aircraft.
The unique design and historical significance make this model ideal for modelers interested in experimental jet aircraft and technological innovations in the aviation industry.
The package does not include the paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
