Vautour IIA IDF Attack Bomber (1/72) SH72096
The twin-engine Vautour was one of the major achievements of French post-war aircraft design, serving both as a fighter and bomber. Israel acquired the single-seat fighter-bomber version, which the French Air Force never used, and these aircraft played a crucial role during the Six-Day War, achieving several air victories and providing vital ground support against neighbouring forces.

- Clear sprue for canopy and light details

History: Developed by Sud Aviation, the Vautour IIA was part of France’s early jet era, designed for speed and versatility. Israel adopted the type in the late 1950s, utilising it extensively in reconnaissance and attack roles. During the Six-Day War in 1967, Vautours flew daring low-level strikes, often without escort, proving their resilience and adaptability. Though eventually replaced by more modern aircraft, the Vautour remains a symbol of Israel’s early jet capability and French aviation innovation.
