Looks good. Twin boom aircraft have a certain look to them from all angles. Nice.

A clarification on which aircraft qualify. Jet bombers are not listed on Wikipedia, however a look at the fighters listed reveal they all entered wide spread service prior to 1955. In future all jets regardless of function may be included as long at they fall into the aforementioned category.

The Vautour IIA is painted in Israeli Air Force (IAF) colours circa 1959. First flown in 1950, the IIA version did not gain much favour with the French  Armée de l'Air. However the Vautour IIA gave good service the the IAF where is was used in ground attack roll with a degree of success.

 I have cut something else out but am still toying with a couple of others.

Will decide in the New Year.
