A modernized multi-role variant of a French legend

In the mid-1970s, Dassault Aviation began developing a new fighter aircraft intended to replace the predecessor models of the Mirage family. Building on the experience gained from developing the Mirage III and Mirage 5, the engineers created a completely new airframe, the Mirage 2000. The aircraft retained the characteristic delta wing configuration, which was further optimized through the implementation of a computer-controlled fly-by-wire control system. The prototype of the Mirage 2000 made its maiden flight on March 10, 1978, and the first squadron was commissioned in 1984.

The Mirage 2000-5 is a comprehensively modernized multi-role variant, equipped with the RDY radar, the capability to deploy MICA-IR/RF missiles, and the advanced Thales Topsight helmet-mounted display. The modernized aircraft destined for France received the designation 2000-5F. For years, aircraft of this variant formed an indispensable part of the combat capabilities of the French Air Force.

This COBI building blocks model captures the essence of this modern variant faithfully, combining the dynamic silhouette of the delta wing with intricate details that will delight both aviation enthusiasts and model builders alike.

The Mirage 2000-5F stands as a symbol of modern engineering and the development of French fighter aviation. With this COBI building blocks model, you can reconstruct one of the most famous European aircraft of the late 20th century, thereby combining your passion for history with the satisfying experience of COBI building blocks construction.
