VG 33 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Hello Here is my 1/72 Special Hobby SNCASO Vautour IIN from the ECTT 01/030 Loire in 1961 on Creil Air Base. This an old kit but easy to build except around the engine cowlings. Patrick Edited July 22, 2020 by VG 33 62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc72 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Looks great! Very clean built. Some day I'd like to build an Israeli Vautour. I read somewhere that this is a tricky kit, so good to hear that you don't agree with that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbolt Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Beautiful work 👍 Always fancied get one of the Special Hobby kit but never got around to it. The only criticism I have is it would be nice to see the pictures a bit larger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Very nice model of an unusual and distinctive subject. Always fancied doing an IDF/AF example but would prefer to do it in 1:48 scale. Well Done, Sir ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binbrook87 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Great result. Love the Vatour. 👍 I echo what others have said above...a great looking natural metal finish. I too have fancied having a crack at this kit. Nice to see this modelled. Edited June 23, 2020 by binbrook87 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that this is a tricky kit, so good to hear that you don't agree with that. Hello I must confess that I am used to building Special Hobby kits so they seem easy for me. But this one is about ten years old and I can measure the progress made by the Czech manufacturer when I compare for example with the three Viggen I showed ten days ago. Anyway, this one as I said is uneasy around the engine cowlings and between these and the fuselage unless you have small fingers. For that reason I did not follow exactly the instruction sheet by building these cowlings before gluing the wings. Furthermore I scratch built the airbrakes as they are always open when the aircraft is on idle. This is just for security reason that they are closed in the museums. I did not open the canopies as they are quite thick even though they are very clear. This Vautour IIN was at the time in natural metal finish but my next Vautour IIB will be aluminium painted as they were after 1962 to fight against corrosion. I remember it was the same case for the Republic F-105 at the same time. Cheers. Patrick 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick, Well done, that is a superb result, very impressive. I have one of these in the stash and I don't have small fingers, don't be surprised if I come asking for tips when I get around to making mine. Again, congratulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
