The first model was the SV.4A, an advanced aerobatic trainer, followed by the SV.4B with redesigned wings and the 130 hp/97 kW de Havilland Gipsy Major engine.

After the war, between 1948 and 1955, the successor company Stampe et Renard built a further 65 aircraft as trainers for the Belgian Air Force.

A licensed SV.4C version was built in France by SNCAN (Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Nord), and in Algeria by Atelier Industriel de l'Aéronautique d'Alger, the two firms completing a combined total of 940 aircraft.

Many also served in aeroclubs in France, numbers of which were later sold second hand to the United Kingdom and other countries.
