| | Dassault MD.450 "Ouragan" by Forest Dalton (Heller 1/72) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | The "Ouragan" was a single-seat, low-wing monoplane powered by the Hispano Suiza built copy of the Rolls-Royce Nene, the engine mounted within the circular-section fuselage with a frontal air intake. |
 | | The Ouragan was inspired by American designs, and had a vague resemblance to the Republic F-84 Thunderjet: essentially a "stovepipe" design with intake in the nose, low-set straight wing, bubble canopy, and tricycle landing gear. |
 | | The "Ouragan" served with several Armée de l'Air squadrons until replaced by its swept wing cousin, the MD.452, or "Mystère" from 1954-56. |
