The IVP version served a reconnaissance role, while the IVM was used as a strike aircraft. The Etendard IV primarily operated from the decks of aircraft carriers such as the famous \"Clemenceau\" and \"Foch.\" Its main roles included naval air support, anti-surface operations, support for landing forces, and reconnaissance. It entered service in the late 1950s and was used by the French Navy from 1962 until the 1990s, setting the standards for later carrier-based fighters.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eMain features of the Kitty Hawk 80137 model:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e1\/48 scale – perfectly suited for collections of aircraft models in this most popular scale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh-quality plastic – finely detailed surface features of the fuselage, wings, and armament.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOptions to build two versions – IVP (reconnaissance) and IVM (fighter-bomber).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of operation: France (Marine Nationale).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eClear parts – realistically rendered cockpit glazing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDetailed cockpit and undercarriage, with the ability to set flaps and control surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthentic armament and pylons – e.g., missiles, fuel tanks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDecals with authentic French Navy unit markings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePlastic model for self assembly and painting – set does not include paints or glue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Kitty Hawk 80137 set is especially recommended for experienced modelers (difficulty level 4\/5) due to the high number of details, complexity of assembly, and the need for precise painting.
