Special Hobby 48238B Dassault SMB-2 Super Mystere / Sa'ar - Israeli Storm in the Sky (Kit+Book) 1/48

The exclusive model kit Special Hobby 48238B Dassault SMB-2 Super Mystère / Sa’ar – Israeli Storm in the Sky (Kit+Book) in 1/48 scale is an excellent choice for all experienced modeling enthusiasts, fans of Israeli aviation history, and collectors of rare combat aircraft. This unique product combines a plastic model kit of the Israeli-modified version of the supersonic fighter-bomber Sa’ar (based on the Dassault Super Mystère B2) with a richly illustrated English-language history book describing the aircraft's history, combat use, markings, and numerous unique archival photographs.

The Israeli Air Force operated the Super Mystère B2, locally upgraded and named Sa’ar, in key Middle Eastern conflicts – most notably during the Six-Day War (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973). These were among the first Israeli combat aircraft to break the sound barrier, used both in fighter missions and as effective close air support and tactical bombers.

The model is made of high-quality plastic, ensuring precision and detailed accuracy. The kit is enhanced with photo-etched parts and resin components that allow for an extremely realistic appearance of the cockpit, landing gear, and weaponry. The included decal set enables the creation of several authentic Israeli paint schemes and markings.
