July 6, 2024 · in Aviation · · 4 · 143

This is a model of one the first fighter aircraft of the Israeli Air Force. This represents an aircraft flown by William Pomerantz in 1948.

  • the kit used is the Revell late Bf109G with the AML conversion set and decals for the Sakeen. This is very well done set and I ran into few issues during the construction.

I added the bomb rack and bombs also. Due to center of gravity issues on the real aircraft and poor flying characteristics , only two bombs were fitted usually

-Kitsworld seat belts were used, Airscale instrument decals were used on the instrument panel, EZ line was used for the antenna.

-AK, Tamiya, Model Master paints used
