Isreali F-32

Captain Canada · April 23, 2010, 07:29:27 AM

Hi guys,
After battling it out with my SSGB build, and then suffering through the disappointment of the first GB in WI history to not have an extension ( I thought it was an April fools joke !

) I needed something simple to get back into the swing of things. This is the first Isreali a/c I've ever built. I've always been a fan of that colour combo with those roundels. The only mods I made were adding a pair of wheels to the nose gear, and I added a few of those lumpy things in front of the canopy, and obviously the fuel tanks ! I was going to add a pair of big honkin' LGBs, but it just didn't look right, so I figure it still carries the weapons internally. Makes me wonder where the F-32 would be if it were chosen over the -35....

Cool . . . the tanks are ex F-18 eh?

I really like these. nice work on the camo and the "lumpy things" add to it as well

Looks pretty smart there. Not my favourite machine but you did a nice job.

Hey Ma!!!

Can you check out outside the window?!!!

Has hell frozen over???!!!!

What? No, Todd has just built an Israeli plane!

And where's my meatloaf?

I think that it is amazing that not even Israeli camo can make that plane look good. Wonder if Swedish splinter can do it.

The model, however, turned out very nice.

Actually, I think in Israeli colours it looks positively good.

Which is quite a feat.

The colors help, but that plain is just plain butt-ugly.

Nice one - looks good!

The lumpy bits are IFF aerials, BTW.
