Just got back from the summer and here are pics of my Israeli F-19 made from the Testors 1/48 kit.

I bought this off of ebay, so there was some damage that needed to be repaired before I primered it

I was thinking of What If ideas when I thought of a possible Israeli F-117. I thought it would look extra nice if it had a splinter camo to go with the facets of the aircraft. I did not have a spare F-117 kit, but I did have a F-19 kit that filled the role much better than I had hoped. I really think this splinter camo kit turned out well. I based the splinter pattern on Israeli F-15I camo patterns.

the decals were a mix of kit decals and some Eagle Strike decals for a F-16A
