"The French word "statoréacteur" has been created in 1945 by Maurice ROY (before :
"trompes ou tuyères thermopropulsives"). The British adopted "Athodyd"
(AeroTHermODYnamic Duct) before using ramjet. In Germany ramjet has been called
"Lorinflugrohr" or "Staustrahltriebwerke". In SSSR, ramjet was named PVRD."

For this GZ4 model from blackkite, at the beginning, I thought it was a Dassault original desk-model (like the desk model of the Dassault MD-750), but I found today that it comes from a French model builder

Dassault MD.117-33 History At the end of World War 2 in 1945, the French aero-industry lay in ruins. The German occupation hampered and ultimately destroyed many pre-war and early-war programs and it was the task of several remaining industry players to resurrect a once-thriving industry. Dassault
