Hi all,
Here you have one among six vacuformed kits issued under the label "Ventavia" in... December 1959.
They were from
Ventax in Paris. The six models were : SNCASO SO 9050 Trident II, SNCAN N-1402 Gerfaut II, Gloster Javelin, Lockheed F-104, SM 62 Snark, and Convair 240.
The pictures show the SNCASO Trident II in 1/100 scale :
The very first vacuformed kits.
I built it in 2006.
1) You have to cut off all the parts :

2) You assemble it, including stiffeners...

3) ,After good sanding, you obtain that :

4) Then, you paint the model after assembling the landing gear (these parts are injected moulded) and add the decals (made with spar decals because the actual decals were entirely dark yellow ! :
