Miniwing 341 Dassault MD.450 Ouragan (2 plastic kits in box - 3 decal versions)

The Dassault MD 450 Ouragan was a French full-metal, half-shell, low-wing fighter-bomber jet. The drive was provided by a single engine Rolls-Royce Nene 104B. The flight of the prototype took place in February 1949, and serial production continued in the years 1949-1954, ending with the production of 118 machines. The planes were decommissioned in the 1980s.

The French aviation industry, due to the German occupation during World War II, did not work on its own jet plane. However, after 1945 it was decided to change this state of affairs. Work on the first French combat jet was carried out very efficiently at the Dassault plant under the supervision of their boss - Marcel Dassault. In his works he relied heavily on American designs of the late 1940s, airplanes: F-80 and F-84. The result of these works was the very successful Dassault MD 450 Ouragan, which entered the line in 1952, replacing the then obsolete De Havilland Vampire aircraft. Airplanes of this type were exported to India, El Salvador, but especially Israel, in the service of which they proved to be fantastic as airplanes close to support the land forces during the Suez crisis (1956) and the Six-Day War (1967).
