French Thunder in Brick-Built Form

The COBI Dassault Mirage 2000-5 Fighter Jet #5917 is a sharp, fast-looking tribute to one of France’s most recognizable modern combat aircraft. With its delta-wing shape, blue-and-white camouflage, French roundels, and sleek nose profile, this 1:48 scale model looks ready to leap off the runway.

The real Mirage 2000 entered French service in the 1980s and became a major part of France’s modern air defense and strike capability. Built by Dassault Aviation, the aircraft carried forward the famous Mirage family’s delta-wing design while adding fly-by-wire controls, strong climb performance, and later avionics upgrades. The Mirage 2000-5 version improved the platform with advanced radar and MICA missile capability, giving it sharper air-to-air performance for modern missions.

This aircraft type has served with several air forces around the world. It also earned attention during NATO-era operations, including the Kosovo conflict, where Dassault noted strong wartime availability for the Mirage 2000 platform. That history makes this set a great fit for collectors who enjoy modern military aircraft, Cold War-to-modern aviation development, and display models with a real-world background.

COBI set #5917 includes 494 pieces and builds into a compact but detailed French multirole fighter. The opening canopy reveals the included pilot figure, while the underwing stores, landing gear, rubber tires, and clear display stand give you several ways to show it off. Display it parked, posed in flight, or lined up with your other modern jets for a full squadron-ready look.
