The French SMB-2 Super Mystere jet fighter became the first Western European fighter to break the speed of sound in level flight. Until the advent of the Mirage III, the SMB-2 was the most powerful French fighter. After the introduction of the Mirage III, the Super Mysteres were transferred to fighter-bomber units, where they served for a very long time. The SMB-2 was also exported to Israel. In the battles against Arab superiority, the SMB-2 proved its worth, but, like in France, they were used as fighter-bombers after the delivery of the Mirage III fighters. In Israel, the SMB-2 was modified by installing an American engine. After being decommissioned from the IAF, the remaining Israeli SMB-2s were delivered to Honduras. The kit contains mouldings with both engine variants. The decal sheet, originally used in kit SH72417, offers two Israeli machines with the original Atar 9B engine and one Israeli machine with the American Pratt & Whitney J52 engine.
