Product Introduction
Micromill's "1/72 French Air Force SNCASO SO 9050 Tridant II" plastic model kit.
The Tridant II is a French supersonic hybrid-powered experimental interceptor equipped with a rocket engine in the tail and jet engines on both wingtips, which first flew in December 1955.
Ordered by the French Air Force to develop a base-defense interceptor, Sud-Ouest began research in 1948.
Following two SO 9000 Tridant I aircraft, which first flew in 1953, the company produced the Tridant II as a pre-production aircraft, equipped with two more powerful Turbomeca Gabbiso turbojet engines and one two-chamber SEPR 631 rocket engine.
The Tridan II recorded a top speed of 2,092 km/h (Mach 1.92) in 1956 and a world altitude record of 24,300 m in 1958.
However, due to the influence of the 1957 British Defence White Paper, known as the Sandis White Paper, which advocated "missiles rather than manned aircraft" for air defense, and the successful development of the Mirage 3, the project was canceled.
This injection-molded plastic kit includes two types of decals and etched parts.
When completed, the model measures approximately 176 mm in length and 97 mm in width.
This product is a plastic model that requires assembly and painting.
Separate adhesives, tools, paints, etc. are required for assembly and painting.
