Scale Accurate Fighter Kit - Academy 12248 1/48 Mirage III R Fighter Model Kit (AC 1630)  [AC-12248]

Inspecting the Academy 1/48 Mirage III R model

The Academy 1/48 Mirage III R Fighter model kit recreates the aircrafts characteristic delta profile with attention to proportion and surface detail. It is designed for modellers who want a faithful representation at 1/48 scale.

Service history and design impact

The Mirage III earned a reputation for its efficient delta wing and operational flexibility. This kit reflects that legacy, presenting the form and lines that made the platform a common choice for several air forces.

Modelling approach and fitment advice

At this scale the components show useful definition while remaining forgiving in assembly. The kit is unpainted and glue is required, so dry assembly and progressive painting will yield the best results.

Exhibition and collector notes

Completed builds gain presence on display bases or within cabinets, offering a neat blend of accuracy and manageability. The Mirage III R fits well in collections focused on jet development and Cold War aviation.
