And finished!
So I learned that the Valom kit is not the easy way for this aircraft in 1:72
The figures and diorama ba...

Erik, I realized soon after what you meant, yes, there were a few challenging steps, but considering the small size of the model, progress is still relatively fast.

Cool! looking forward to the brown/blue camouflage... I find this to be a really intriguing combination!

Thank you guys for the interest!
I think if worked with care, this one has good chances to end up a beauty, since there are so many small details concentrated on such a small aircraft.
Painting should start soon, I am also very curious how this camouflage scheme will look at the end. I am planing later also an Israeli Vautour II in this same scheme.

I am in too. I particularly appreciate the background information you always provide with your builds. Very interesting.

Camo is looking neat so far 👍 I want to do a Sa´ar in the same scheme... just found that one of AKs "Aces High" Editions focussed on French jets has a chapter dedicated to painting this israeli scheme... However I propably won´t be able to free-hand the shapes... I assume you used some kind of masking for the hard transition, also?

Thank you for the interest and messages Bernd, Michael and Tom!
@Tom:
I have to admit that I didn't do extensive research on this one, which kind of isn't my style. From what I have understood from the few historical photographs, it seems there was indeed a hard transition between the colours in my opinion, especially if you reduce the real size to 1:72. Indeed, I used masking, I don't see any other way.

Valom is not the easy way, but your build looks great. 👍
All the tiny fins will add value, but considering the number, it looks like a punishment for me 😭
Masking for paint certainly was the right solution for me too. Waiting for the next step 👀

I really like how you brought life into this special camo. Very well done. Hach, makes me wanna build a Fouga too.

Beautiful work mate! The paint job and weathering are stunning 👍

Thank you everybody for the appreciation! I did not expect it to be honest.
I guess a Vautour IIN in a similar livery will soon be on my workbench.
