The middle east wars of Israel and the Arab countries created a ground to all kind of dogfights between multiple types of planes. The first encounter between the two was in November 1966 when a single mirage downed 2 mig -19 one with guns and a second with a matra 530 that flew like a rocket and blown the mig 19 to pieces. In the 1967 Six day war no less than 16 mig -19 were shut down all by mirages.
The Israeli pilots found the mig 19 no match against the mirage and easyer to shut down than both the agile mig-17 and speedy mig -21. The mig -19 despite trio guns of 30 mm
was lacking in manuverability !
After the Six day war the -19 almost disappear from the war theater !
The mig is from Gpm 120 reduced to 1:48 scale.
