This cream coloured resin kit with decals will permit you to add the 1/48 to your next Israeli IAF F-16I and F-16D aircraft.  The set includes 16 resin parts + decals + glass eyes (for 2 bombs)....glass eyes aren't shown in the photos.

This is an air-to-ground TV guided missile. It is a small armament load but is very precise and is controlled by the navigator of the launching plane.  It has a small engine and great maneuverability . If the navigator is not sure about the target, then he has the option to "go around" and come at the target again.  You can heat through windows or heat very important targets without causing damage around the target. The Delilah is carried by F-16Is and F-16Ds. The Delilah have a TV camera that works during the for day or night. It also has a GPS guide unit as well. The Dalilah is made by the Israeli Military Industries (IMI).

Their website says the following....

"Long range, standoff, air-to-ground, loitering, high subsonic missile with man-in-the-loop is the ultimate weapon for precision deep strike against high quality challenging, moving and re-locatable targets. Delilah standoff missile has achieved impressive mission capabilities at striking numerous value targets, with high kill effect and low collateral damage. The Delilah missile system is operational onboard F-16 and F-4 fixed wing aircraft."

The Isracast resin casting is well done, the decals are clearly printed and the instructions are easy enough to follow.  

I am impressed with this set....it will give you the option to hang a very innovative weapons load on your next Israeli F-16.

I'd like to thank Isracast - Isradecals for the review sample.
