Dassault Mercure 100 - Air Inter - Heller - 1:125 Scale Kit - Vintage 1980 Issue.

The Dassault Mercure is a twin-engined narrow body jet powered airliner developed and manufactured by French aircraft firm Dassault Aviation. According to Dassault, it was the first large-scale European cooperative civil aeronautics programme.

During 1967, the Mercure was proposed as a French competitor to the American Boeing 737. It was Dassault's first venture into the commercial jet airliner market, the company having traditionally built fighters and executive jets. On 28 May 1971, the prototype conducted its maiden flight, while the type entered service on 4 June 1974 with French airline Air Inter. 

Undamaged and unbuilt plastic model kit in its original packaging. Box and contents in excellent condition. Please see all the photos.

This great model kit was released in 1980 and it was bought about that time to build but it's time now for someone to actually make it and proudly display it for all to see; that's you. It will also absolutely suit collectors (especially as it's not been re-released).

Very well moulded in a grey colour with 51 overall parts. Includes undercarriage, clear cockpit and cabin windows, Air Inter decals and easy to follow instruction sheet, (please see all the photos). 

TIPS: 

  • I have three other old Heller 1:125 scale airliner kits listed on ebay. Click on "See Other Items" link (or similar name). 
  • Should you be interested in buying more than one model from me, I do offer the beneficial 'combined postage'. Just buy them separately (all within a 24 hour period) and I will refund you the relevant postage overpayment on the day I post the parcel. 

Add this iconic piece of French aviation history to your collection today.

Accordingly, if you did not have the opportunity to buy it 44 years ago (wow, last century) then snap up this vintage, getting harder to find and quality offering right now, (before someone else does)!

For buyers located in Scandinavia plus middle and Eastern European countries & The Russian Federation, please contact me before you buy providing your country name and I will advise the actual postage cost. (Unfortunately the postage cost will be slightly more expensive owing to the long distance from Australia). If you live elsewhere in the world then the postage may be slightly cheaper.
