French Vultee Vengeance Torpedo bomber

[The Rat]

Coming along in fits and starts, like all my victims projects. Decided to try one of those weird wild and wonderful freehand schemes that a lot of French aircraft got. With brushes it will look a little crisper, but I'm not shelling out for an airbrush just yet. The green is Model Master RAF Dark Green, the brown is unknown because the label fell off decades ago. They aren't perfectly accurate, maybe not even close, but MFM! Still needs touch up in areas, and maybe a few more blobs. The brown is gloss, but it will all be given a dull coat anyway.

I've a soft spot for French aircraft of this period so I do like the look of this

Not only was the camouflage pattern done on a freestyle basis (it was thought that this might put an attacking pilot off when attempting to strafe a line up of aircraft) but there were also a couple, at least, of variations to the colours used. The French were in such a mad rush to rearm in 1938/1940 that they weren't too bothered about ensuring everything came up to the official specification and took a pragmatic approach.

The cowling is progressing. Mask, paint, mask, paint, mask... Plenty of touch-up expected once all the stripes are done.

I like Vichy schemes, I just don't like the masking required

...that's why I love generic decal stripe material.

Hateful.  I detest the nazi allies and collaborators with a passion you can barely dream of.
