Danumurthi MahendraMuch thanks, @Alistair and @Christian! It was a quick build with a special focus on paintwork and weathering

TheMadModellerAwesome and beautiful build! Any idea of this particular bird's combat history? Just curious. This particular model is 50% too large to "fit in" with the kits in my collection. 😄

Danumurthi MahendraHi @Edward. The history was an afterthought. But I managed to dig out something from Wing Palette and F-16.net. F-16D Block 52; Unit: 119 tajeset, IDF/AF; Serial: 497 (s/n 00-1049, c/n YD-49); Ramon AFB, April 2007. F-16 aircraft from Fiscal Year 2000, Peace Marble V. photo f-16.net/aircraft-da..rframe-profile/4731/

TheMadModeller@Danumurthi Mahendra Interesting data! Given how closely Israel guards its combat mission records I presume we wouldn't find anything out as to whether this 119th Tayaset "Bat" squadron bird has seen action or not.

Danumurthi MahendraYou are right @Edward. Been looking everywhere. This seem to be a good record of 119 Bat Squadrob, but sadly minus the F-16I. aeroflight.co.uk/waf../af/units/119sqn.htm

Michael PhillipsOh that is just fantastic Dan! This is inspiring, the Sufa is high on my list of "must builds".
Well done!
