HISTORY ASPECTS:
The Luftwaffe Alpha Jet A, tail number 40+57, served with Fighter-Bomber Wing 43 (JaboG 43) at Oldenburg Air Base and was one of the striking participants in the NATO Tiger Meet of 1991. Designed as a lightweight, versatile attack and training aircraft, the Alpha Jet was developed jointly by Dassault-Breguet of France and Dornier of Germany. Entering service in the 1970s, it became a staple for tactical missions and advanced pilot training within NATO. Its sleek design and reliable performance made it an ideal platform for low-altitude strike missions and precision bombing, with the Luftwaffe heavily relying on the Alpha Jet for close air support and other combat roles throughout the Cold War.
The NATO Tiger Meet 1991 was a showcase of camaraderie and operational prowess among NATO air forces, hosted by the elite Tiger Squadrons. Tailored with a striking tiger-themed paint scheme, 40+57 epitomized the spirit of the event, blending its operational heritage with artistic flair. While the Alpha Jet was never engaged in large-scale combat under the Luftwaffe, it was a constant presence in NATO exercises and readiness drills, underscoring its strategic role in the alliance’s defensive posture during tense periods like the 1980s.
JaboG 43’s Alpha Jets, including 40+57, trained for various conflict scenarios, simulating ground-attack missions and close support roles for NATO forces. While its operational role waned with the arrival of newer, more advanced aircraft, the Alpha Jet remained a symbol of the Cold War era's intricate defense networks. The Tiger Meet’s 1991 edition highlighted this legacy, with 40+57 celebrated for its combination of operational readiness and vibrant presentation.
This 1:72 scale model meticulously replicates the aircraft’s iconic Tiger Meet livery and fine details. Perfect for enthusiasts of NATO aviation history, it captures the spirit of international collaboration and Cold War readiness. A must-have collectible, it pays homage to an era of innovation and strategic partnership.
