The French SMB-2 Super Mystere was the first Western Europe-produced
jet fighter to break the speed of sound in level flight. Until the
introduction of the Mirage III type, the SMB-2 remained the most
powerful French fighter. And when the Mirage came to the service, the
Super Mystere were transferred to fighter-bomber units where they flew
for a very long time.
SMB-2 jets were also successfully exported to
Israel where they proved against the overwhelming Arab superiority. And
as in France, when the Israelis finally got their Mirages, the Super
Mysteres were re-delegated to the fighter bomber role. Later in their
career, the Israeli SMB-2s had their engine replaced with a US-made
unit.When struck off service, the remaining SMB-2s were sold off to
Honduras. Our model kit contains parts for both engine options. The
decal sheet originates in our SH72417 release enabling modellers to
build one of two French machines (both with the original Atar 9B jet) or
a Honduran option with the lon ger tail section housing the Pratt and
Whitney J52 engine. The kit also contains a resin cast ejection seat for
the Honduran Super Mystere
