Dassault Mirage 50 Milan Nose

The Dassault Mirage IIIE was developed into the Mirage 5 aircraft after Israeli experience in the Six Day War. The Mirage 5 became an export success and the type continued into service well into the 21st century.

In 1979 Chile ordered six of the improved Mirage 50. as the 50C "Chilli". This version was fitted with a nose capable of housing Agave or Cyrano IV radar. In some references this is also referred to as the "Milan" nose - perhaps developed from the Milan S 01 nose with retractable "moustaches".

The set includes a single nose cast in polyurethane resin and is designed for the High Planes kit.
