S.O. 4050 Vautour II French Fighter Bomber: A Decades-Long Service Record In 1958, this versatile aircraft entered service with both Armee de l'Air and the Indian Air Force (IAF), marking a significant milestone in military aviation history. The S.O. 4050 Vautour II left an indelible mark on several pivotal conflicts of its time. Notably, it played a crucial role in the Six-Day War and the War of Attrition, showcasing its capabilities as a low-level bomber. Its impressive performance earned it a notable victory when at least one Iraqi Hawker Hunter was downed by this aircraft. The Vautour II came in two distinct models: the single-seat fighter-bomber variant known as the Vautour IIA and the Vautour IIN, a two-seat all-weather interceptor. These variations underscored the aircraft's adaptability and versatility. A 1/100 scale model of this iconic aircraft was printed using a high-resolution nozzle with 0.4mm diameter and 0.12 mm layers, ensuring exceptional detail and accuracy. The print job was executed on an Ender3, as depicted in the image captured from PrusaSlicer 2.0. Erik's meticulous attention to detail resulted in a remarkable model that pays homage to the S.O. 4050 Vautour II's enduring legacy in military aviation history.
