Vinnie Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hello. I decided to build these two models after reading several articles about the 1948 Israeli/Egyptian conflict. If you are interested there is one of the shorter articles here. http://www.machal.org.il/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=122&Itemid=176&lang=en The Israeli Spitfire is Revell's 1/48 finished with Revell Aqua silver and decals from Techmod. I found the decals quite difficult to settle, even with copious amounts of Micro Sol/Set. The Egyptian example is the Hasegawa 1/48 bought directly from Japan Plaza. Took a while to arrive but it was the cheapest option. The paint was hand brushed using Hataka's rather nice Blue Line series. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Marvellous Spitfires with great markings. I find it hard to find fault with anything in Israeli airforce markings, and the Egyptian one looks great too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1xena Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Cool...I have some decals to do something similar, as well as a kit of a S-199 (Czech built 109). I've just started reading this: https://www.amazon.com/Angels-Sky-Volunteer-Airmen-Israel/dp/0393254771 Angels In The Sky....cool story about the pilots of the 1948 fledgling Israeli Air Force. Its a fascinating read so far, and I haven't even got to the fighter aircraft bit yet! Cheers Tania Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
