Product Description
The Dassault Mirage IIIE was developed into the Mirage 5 aircraft after Israeli experience in the Six Day War. The main differences were the avionics from the bay behind the cockpit and rocket motor capability were removed, and an extra set of hard points added under the fuselage. The Mirage 5 became an export success and the type continued into service well into the 21st century.
