1/72 Vautour?
Posted by philp on Wednesday, February 4, 2004 10:40 PM
If my failing memory serves me, someone made an injection molded kit of the Vautour in 1/72. I keep thinking it was Mach (not Mach 2 but possibly a forerunner of the same company ). I checked the 72nd Census sight and can't find one there. Tell me, am I going senile or does anyone have any info (would love to build one in Israeli markings)?

A search on Hannants only came up with two 1/48 kits, by Hi-Tech and Fonderie Miniatures (aka FM)... A 1/72 kit of this very good looking aircraft is long overdue!

There are 1/72models in resin of the Vautour namely the IIB & IIN from a French manufacturer Replica. But these are even in Europe hard to find. I bought them both on a modelling contest last year. One of them has Israeli markings.

Luce,
Thanks for the info. How do they look? Any pics? What was the cost?

OK, looks like quite a list (including that Mach kit I thought I had seen). Anyone got one they want to get rid of?

I currently have the Hi-Tech 1/48 IIN version. I am saving it, as I do not currently have the skill to do it justice. I too would welcome a 1/72 scale version. Heller, had a 1/100 listed at one point. Manufacturers are you listening?

P.S. Vautour is my family name. It originated from Exideuil France.
