Here's some photos
of my latest model, a 101squadron F-16C in new 1948 vintage markings.
This 1/48 scale Hasegawa model
was featured on the cover of the December 1995 issue of Fine Scale Modeler
magazine as a Scorpion squadron bird. Over the past 10 years it yellowed out and
was due for the scrap pile. When the First Fighter squadron adopted their new
motif that was designed by our very own fellow modeler Ra'anan Weiss, the model
was transformed to a current version as seen in the photos attached. For the
decals, I used IsraDecal sheet IAF-42.

It was ironic that I completed this model on the day of passing of Ezer Weizman
who was one of the founders of the 101 squadron. During his funeral, he was honored
with a flyby of four 101 squadron F-16's in their new motif, shown here, that
were trailed by Ezer's very own black Spitfire that he loved so much. A fitting
tribute to the "Father of the IAF".
