Hi All,
If you didn't know, this year is the 70th anniversary of the creation of Israel. So If anyone fancies joining us - The Duke and I are having a mini IDF/IAF GB to mark this.
Any subject, any scale - just so long as it was operated by Israelis.
Cheers!

Thanks for setting this up Stuart. I'll get started on mine soon, possibly today.
Stay tuned!

Of course I need to volunteer for another GB like I need to volunteer for another hole in my head...

Lol - Actually it's fine, everybody's welcome but no biggie if you can't join in.

Yeah, I feel the same way; but if it's something I really enjoy and I'm really into, then I am willing to jump right in. Don't worry Carlos; you have a lot on your plate already so just take your time finishing up other things.
Mike, I'm looking forward to seeing your projects here.

Re: The SPAM Israeli Defence/Air Force Mini GB
Hey Guys,
So here's my first entry into the GB - Israel's first Fighter - the Avia S-199 'Knife'.
This is by far and away my favourite box art to date - I just love that image. I don't know a lot about the kit inside, I just bought it for that bit of art work. It's such a mean looking aircraft.
Here are some shots from the box!
As you can see it’s a typical short run kit with not much in the way of instructions and blooming awful clear parts. There is a modicum of flash but nothing bad. I've spent about 20 minutes cleaning up the main parts and sorting out the fit. It;s actually pretty good.
Here's were I am now - I've started to assemble the highly detailed cockpit - including some sprue block to sit the IP against. I have some spare IP and seat belt decals that'll get used in this.
Cheers!

Re: The SPAM Israeli Defence/Air Force Mini GB
Very cool! I think that the box art looks more impressive than the basic kit though...
