That's one great looking fishbed! Your weatering is on point and if it wasn't for your disclaimer, no one would have realized that you messed up the underside twice.
One minor thing, your gun vents are the wrong way.
Also, I'm impressed that you've managed to keep the pitot on, I'd have knocked that sucker off 10 times while handling the model.

Thank you Clement for stopping by and having a look.
I have to admit I didn't notice back then the issue with the gun vents. Thanks for pointing that out, I appreciate it. Now it's corrected and repainted.

The small Pitot tube you are refering to is actually (as you may know) a dynamic pressure probe for G-feel (hence the proximity to cockpit). It's indeed surprinsingly robust, doesn't brake easily at all. On the other hand, the long Pitot for airspeed is long gone my friend. You can only see the fairing at the root from what's left of it (fairing and tube are one-piece in the kit). This model was initially a mule/testbed for paints and back then I didn't handle the model with much care. I would have replaced it with a brass one anyway, so I didn't mind.

Thank you guys so much for taking your time and having a look in the album.

@Vintagemodeler: I am happy you found the short article and glad you're finding the combination of modelling and actual history attractive. Actually all of my more recent models from the last 3-4 years have an article attached to them. I was thinking some weeks ago about maybe publishing all of them in a different format together with the models, but we'll see how this turns out.

That's a perfect concept for a book/album! 🙂 May I pre-order the first copy?

Haha, that's nice Lukasz, but it's just an idea, it might never happen. But IF (a bif if), a full "Arab-Israeli Air Wars" collection would be the first volume.

@Vintagemodeler: sure, you ca go to someone's page/profile and there is this button called "actions" close to the profile picture. There you can choose to "follow" or become "mates". If you are following someone, a list of those users will appear on your page and you can check them from time to time. I am also checking from time to time the modellers I am following. I don't know if there is any way to get notifications when some of your mates are posting something.
