The twin-engine Vautour jet was one of the successes of the French
post-war industry. It was produced for the French Air Force as an
all-weather fighter and in a bomber version. Israel purchased
all-weather fighters and also a single-seat fighter-bomber version,
which the French Air Force did not use. The fighter-bomber Vautours were
particularly involved in the Six-Day War against their Arab neighbours
and even achieved several air victories.
The kit contains four sprues
of plastic parts, a sprue of clear parts, etches and resin cast parts.
The decals offer markings for four IAF machines, but in five camouflage
schemes. One of the machines flew in two different types of camouflage,
one in the natural colour of metal.
- reissue of a long-unavailable model
- very interesting machines with different types of camouflage
