Vultee A35B Vengeance ("L Armee de l'Air)

The Vultee Vengeance dive bomber found its wartime fame in the Indian and Pacific Ocean theatres of war. Almost unknown was its use by the 'l Armée de l´Air in the African theater from 1944 onwards. These machines were used for patrol flights and training. The use of non standard exhaust pipes on several machines is very interesting. The Vengeance kit comes in two plastic sprues with resin and photo-etched parts. Decals offer the choice of two camouflage schemes. Both machines are in standard Olive Drab on upper surfaces and Neutral Grey on lower ones and both are very weathered. The original US national insignia appears through the French ones. One machine has the non standard exhaust pipe
