Academy 1/48 Beechcraft V35A Bonanza
The successful Beechcraft Bonanza manufactured since the late 40s found its way to Israel during the Independence War. A South African volunteer that became one of the founders of the young Israeli Air Force flew his Bonanza across Africa to Israel. There, the aircraft was used to recce and bombing missions. Bombing was possible with improvised bomb carriers under the wings. The aircraft was camouflaged with a makeshift dark green color on the upper surfaces.
Excellent result of this one-off example with such an interesting history, Rafi!
Well done!
Thank you Spiros!
