Valom 72074 MD 450 Barougan 1/72 – Plastic model kit

The Valom 72074 MD 450 Barougan in 1/72 scale is a precisely reproduced plastic model kit of the legendary French fighter-bomber aircraft. The offered set depicts the Barougan version, a specially modified MD 450 for operations under extreme desert conditions. Historically, the MD 450 Ouragan and Barougan was the first series-produced jet fighter by France after World War II. The Barougan version was adapted for operation from unprepared airfields on African backroads, among other things featuring reinforced landing gear and larger air brakes.

This model is an excellent choice for both aviation enthusiasts and collectors of Cold War era models. Original MD 450 Barougan aircraft were operated by France and used mainly during colonial conflicts, including during the Suez Crisis in the 1950s. Thanks to this kit, every modeler can recreate a fragment of French aviation history by building a realistic miniature of a machine that became a symbol of the modernization of France's air force in the post-war period.
