Etendard IVP – Model Kit 1/48 – Heller Models from Heller Models

Description

To address the need for a tactical reconnaissance plane refuellable in flight, the seventh Entendard IVM was modified pre-production. The Etendard IVP flew for the first time on 19 November 1960 and was followed by 21 production aircraft. The only real combat missions of the Etendard IV have been the photo reconnaissance missions conducted by the Entendard IVP during operations in Lebanon in 1983-1984, in the former Yugoslavia from 1993, and in Kosovo in 1999. On 28 July 2000, the dissolution of the Flotilla 16F, based at Landvisiau, in Brittany, and the only operational unit equipped with the Etendard IVP, marked the end of their career. They had flown more than 200,000 flight hours.
