So, sooooo tempted to start cutting plastic and make it fit....😜
-
Hmmmmm, this is interesting 🤔!

Unable to curb my impulsive acquisitions, I have branched out into a IDF Centurion (the 'Valley of tears' series gets part of the blame)
Any good resources (pref online) on the Golan theatre?

Not really, nothing that can't be found somewhere else.

using the drawings from the Valiant wings book (suspect, as they are modern, but in the absence of other drawings...🤷♂️)
cutting 9.5mm from the inside of the A2 upper wing will get you the required span.
the aileron needs shortening of course, and the lower wing adjusted to match (not sure on that one yet)
have ordered a second A2 for giggles....

Some utterly unscientific 'holding up the Eduard A2 sprue to a scaled factory drawing shows the Eduard kit matches up to the windscreen area.
This was the image used:
just actually read the caption...☺️
so this is NOT the prototype, but a step towards a production machine, which would explain the match with the kit.
-
Just to clarify...
The Eduard fuselage matches from the top of the stab to the bottom of the windscreen. (ie the upper line.)
The lower line matches until the kit stops where the lower wing goes.
Cockpit edges will need building up, and canopy cutting down.
Can't really judge the wing position, but everything in front of the windscreen needs work.

Wing will be an interesting conversion too...
Afaik the root was stayed the same but the tip was narrower?
With the wheel wells where they are...😱
Was it the leading edge or trailing edge angle (or both?😱) that will need adjusting?
Just thought of something....would a 152H wing work?
Cut the top surface to the correct span, make the bottom surface follow the top.....(need angle info here)

To further the discussion
Not putting red lines on it....(yet)
But getting there from an A-2 would require a fair bit of cutting and shutting.
Power egg will need shortening and re-engraving.
I think it would be easier to move the wing back, than to move the canopy forward.
Cockpit sides will need building up and the canopy cutting down.
I think I like this project!

Following this, being an obsessive completist....one must have at least a V-1, A-0, A-1, to complete the set....

Form me the color looks more similar to RLM-02 perhaps, not the RLM 84...

Which would make sense, current auto fillers are matched with primers too.

Can't help it.
At a glance, it might be easy to mistake the filler for 02.
I noticed the thread, but thought a comic representation had no place in it.

Is it just me, or would the seat be better with a PE back?
It just doesn't look thin enough.

Hugault's stuff is a lot of fun! I find the stories kinda silly, but he really works to get the aircraft accurate.
I like your color choices, except looking at the pics I get the impression he's wrapped the 81 under the wing leading edge. (This would be in line with JaPo's idea that the darker wing camo was often applied first over all upper and forward lower surfaces, with the lighter color done last.)
there is a bit of inconsistency in the drawings.
in some it looks like 81 (mostly the parked up ones), while the underside makes it look like 02....artistic freedom
