KittyHawk Models new F.1 put to an impressive test....

Even though this is the test shot in subject here from Kittyhawk Models  you can see the potential of their new single seat  Mirage F.1C in 48^th scale – lots of shots of the built up model leave us wanting to see if it can improve still further before release…

Kitty Hawk Models September release – 1/48^th scale Dassault Mirage F.1 CT/CR

Dassault reconnaissance version of a tactical reconnaissance aircraft for the French Air Force - the first Mirage F1CR-200 flew on 20 November 1981. The F.1CR carries it’s reconnaissance equipment, internally and externally. 64 Mirage F1CRs were ordered by the French Air Force.

The Mirage F1CT is a ground attack version of the Mirage F1C-200. The French Air Force had a number of surplus Mirage F1C-200s, and in 1988 it launched a conversion programme to turn these aircraft into interim ground attack aircraft to replace elderly Mirage IIIEs and Mirage Vs. It was fitted with new Mk 10 ejection seats, while improved radar detection and warning devices, chaff/flare dispensers, and secure radios were also added. The CT gained the ability to carry a variety of air-to-ground weapons, including rockets, cluster bombs and laser-guided bombs, while retaining the F1Cs air-to-air armament.

 Her is the built up and painted test shot of the kit from Kittyhawk in 48th scale - Impressive!
