Skunkmodels Workshop has just released kit # 48001, Israeli Weapons Set in 1/48th scale and it's in stock at Lucky Model. 

Cybermodeler has sprue shots.  The set comprises four each of the following: Python 4, GBU15, popeye and Spice.

Think they are injected styrene judging by the price being under £10, reckon resin would be a lot more.

Yep, injected plastic and reasonably priced.  Wonder how long that will last before the distributors figure out they have a cash-cow? 

While there are only four types of weapons in the kit they are just different enough from what is included in most other aircraft model and weapons sets to make it interesting if you are looking for specific Israeli weapons for your project.  I am disappointed that the Gabriel anti-ship missile has been ignored since it is a real home-grown weapon that has had little to no coverage in any scale so far.

Another kit review available of the Skunkmodels Workshop kit # 48001, 1/48th scale Israeli Weapons Set over on HyperScale with some close up shots of the kit parts if you want to check it out.

  Just got this first set of weps from Lucky Model and they are really nice.
  Also, Raymond at Lucky Model (and Skunk Models is his) mentioned on ARC that there is a 2nd set of Israeli weps in production and should be out either late July or Aug.  It will have the 600 gallon drop tanks (ala the F-2 style tanks) and Python 3 missiles, and something else that I can't recall at the moment.
  This was my first order from Lucky and it went very smoothly.  9 Days from order place til on my porch  :thumbsup:  Also, many of their products don't incur a shipping charge ... Aires, Wolfpack-D resins, and the Skunkmodels lines, for starters.

ps  I'm not connected with Lucky Models but was pretty happy with my dealing with them.

regards,
Gary F

Cybermodeler has an in-box review of Skunkmpodels new 1/48th MD-3 Navy Deck Tractor.



Hadn't heard a thing about this coming out, should come in handy for anyone doing a diorama with any US Navy kits.

Great news for the 1/72 crowd! Raymond announced a 1/72 IDF Weapons Set on ARC! It's available for pre-order >>HERE<< on LuckyModel.



Contents:
4x AN/AXQ-14 (GBU-15 data link pod)
4x Delilah
4x Python-4
4x Popeye
4x Spice
4x AAQ-28 Litening targeting pod

Great stuff!  :thumbsup: And at a fantastic price as well!

The 1/48 sets contain the GBU-15 and Python-3 as well, so maybe (pure conjecture on my part, though) we'll see a second 1/72 set.

Cheers,
Moritz

I think I'd like to do one of my F-16XL's with all the Israeli equipment piled on it --- this set would work very well with that.

Raymond said on ARC that further 1/72 weapons sets will be considered if the first set will be successful. So order lots! :lol:

Jeepers, that stuff does look good.   :wub:

And at that price it's a steal too! Gotta get some of them, bags of Whiff potential there. Lets hope they down-size the rest of their stuff to 1/72 as well.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

For those interested, I posted an in-box review of the 1/72 Israeli weapons set >>HERE<< on ARC. Excellent value for money, IMHO.
