Il a été utilisé par l'Aéronavale entre 1950 et 1958, le plus souvent en Indochine, sur les porte-avions Arromanches, La Fayette et Bois-Belleau (pour ce dernier uniquement comme avion de servitude ou d'entrainement).
Entirely realized by Mr. Chaubet at 1/144, the dive bomber Curtiss SB2C Helldiver, nicknamed "The Beast" by its crews, and designed to replace the Sbd Dauntless, will be in operational service in the midst of war while it made his maiden flight in 1940.
It was used by the French Fleet Air Arm between 1950 and 1958, mostly in Indochina, on the aircraft carriers Arromanches, Lafayette and Bois-Belleau (for the latter only as a servitude or training aircraft).

Oui, la couleur bleue peut surprendre, mais il faut rappeler que ces avions provenaient des surplus américains, et qu'ils ont particulièrement soufferts de leur utilisation sur porte-avions et en Indochine. La preuve d'un bleu plus clair... Il faudrait juste lui faire plus d'éraillures.
Yes, this blue color may be surprising, but one must remember that these planes came from American surplus, and have suffered particularly for their use on aircraft carriers and in Indochina. The proof of a lighter blue... It would just make it more scuffing.
