Modelsvit 72023 Plastic model aircraft kit Scale 1:72 Mirage III V-02

Dassault Mirage III V-02 is a plastic model aircraft kit in 1/72 scale produced by ModelSvit. The model represents an experimental French vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft developed during the Cold War.

The Mirage III V program was an attempt to combine supersonic performance with VTOL capability. Based on the Mirage III airframe, the project introduced multiple lift engines alongside the main propulsion system. The V-02 prototype was one of the key test aircraft used to evaluate this concept.

Mirage III V-02 - Experimental VTOL Aircraft

The aircraft featured a complex propulsion arrangement with several vertical lift engines and a main engine for forward flight. Its delta wing configuration and streamlined fuselage were derived from the Mirage III family, adapted for experimental vertical takeoff operations.

For modelers: Aircraft with multiple intake and exhaust areas benefit from careful subassembly planning. Painting internal sections before final assembly can simplify finishing, especially around complex engine layouts.
