Heller 56303 STARTER KIT - MIRAGE 2000 C 1/72

The plastic model kit Heller 56303 Starter Kit - Mirage 2000 C in 1/72 scale is an excellent choice for modelers interested in military aviation from the Cold War era and modern times. The set represents the legendary French multirole fighter Dassault-Breguet Mirage 2000 C, which has formed the backbone of the French Air Force since 1984 and has also been operated by the militaries of several other countries, including Egypt, Greece, India, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates.

Mirage 2000 C was developed following a decision by the French government in December 1975, intended to replace the earlier Mirage III/V models. The aircraft utilized an advanced delta wing configuration, which improved maneuverability and flight performance at high speeds, and the use of fly-by-wire technology allowed full control over this inherently unstable aerodynamic layout. The Mirage 2000 C has taken part in numerous military operations from the 1980s to the present day, including conflicts in the Middle East and the Balkans.
