Arsenal VB-10 Fictional versions

The Arsenal VB-10 was too tempting to not draw hypothetical fictional versions of it, so we fixed that.

Firstly we thought it would've made a decent night fighter, so we took the original VG-20, designed in 1939 equipped it with an AI MK.IV radar (hence the antennas at the front), fitted a second crew member in order to operate it and voilá! There's the night fighter version.

Secondly we thought it would had have place for small bombs, since other comparable French heavy fighters of that era like the Potez 630 had place for bombs. Apparently the French bombs were painted in yellow.

Then, we made a leap forward in time and thought that it would've taken part in the French colonial wars like Algeria or Indochina and that's why we equipped a version with six American HVAR rockets, something very plausible, considering that French bought loads and loads of American ordnance in the postwar years.
Finally, we thought that maybe an anti-submarine version wouldn't have been out of place and we loaded a version with four American 3.5inch FFAR rocket that were used with limited success during World War II against Japanese submarines.
