I did not say, I have no experience with biplanes. I'm more jet aircraft. I will do the best possible. Babs

As is said in the title, this is the Silver wings kit. A good kit, pity the Continental engine is not optional for a PT-17 release. Babs

Some views of the cockpit: To be continued.

Hello, I will try to make the Stearman of the Hatzerim museum This is a resin kit, the engine is not good for the IAF version, it will built in scratch. Not many instruments in the cockpit, the panels are slightly modified. Fuselage and wings are assembled, glued with super glue and to be correct with the dihedral at the first time.

High quality model. I am impressed by the result obtained with the old Matchbox. Well done.

Thank you Kevin. And thank you to you all for your comments, I am pleased you enjoyed this model.

Beautiful advanced. The kit Aires is a bit too short but I think it is not too visible when the canopy is in place. However the seat is too small and does not give the effect of being up high like on the real F-15. Compares the size with the seat of theTamiya kit. And the looks with the seats in the cockpit.

My name is Serge Saenen and I have two models on the site. Mig 23 ML and Avia S 199.

Thank you Bill. I use paper mask slightly raised on the surface. I'm not afraid to say that I use this technique but it is more accurate and easier to have a sharper edge, but it is long to do. The shading is freehand.

Of course Kevin , it's a pleasure to be published on LSP. Thank you.

Thank you guys, I'm glad you like it. Now I will have to make a choice for the next model, Hoping it will not be so long to make. Babs.

Hello, To complete the assembly a final update with the two ELINT antennas on the nose in black frames,notably on "Kurnass 2000".. The finished model, I will open a topic in the section ready for inspection as soon as I have done decent pictures. Thank you for following this WIP, also I hope it will be appreciated and interesting for those who want to make one" Kurnass 2000".

Hello Tomcatfreak. On the double Ugly vol 2 'Kurnass' in IDF/AF service 1989 until today,we can see on page 12 two photos of F-4 with two TER under the wings. One with 2 GBU 12 and one with 2 GBU 16. We can see the difference in sizes of the bombs. For GBU 16, one bomb are turned a few degrees to avoid contact of the fins. Although in the book is quoted only GBU 12 on the caption pictures. But it is registered the number 83 on the fins of the bomb which corresponds to Mk 83 for the GBU16.(page 123) Unfortunately i can not publish these photos,copyright respect. Babs.

It is a very beautiful model, paint job is amazing. Well done.

Thanks Maru5137. With a bit of luck it will be completed by end of this year, I will not fail to post some pictures the moment arrived. Babs.

Great details realized with talent. I can only appreciate.

Well done. You makes me want to get it, in fact I just ordered despite the high price. But I understand, it's resin and photo etched parts.

Beautiful beast, very neat work.

Beautiful cockpit, it makes you want to start a Spitfire.

Wolfpack design but sold out. Trumpeter smart bomb TU03305.

Thank you guys, I'm a little motivated and I finally have a little time for modeling. Pylons and GBU: Some details added to the TER and the cassettes chaff flares are from Quickboost israeli F-16A and a little scratch. The two GBU-12 are from the Academy F-16, the two GBU-16 very used by IAF are from Blackbox. The surface contours of the USNavy bomb are deleted,the quality of the resin set was not top. You can see the shifted position of the bombs, that's how.

Thanks. Do not be afraid,go ahead!
