Kinetic/Eduard 1/48 Mirage IIICJ
Three models depicting the iconic Mirage in the IDF service during the early 70s.
I used Kinetic's Mirage III mold as a platform and replaced the necessary parts from Eduard's Mirage IIICJ.
Models have been along periodically since childhood.
Over the years, I built close to 1000 models.

Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito FB. Mk.VI

Hasegawa 1/48 Messerschmitt Bf 109G-4
The Bf 109G-4 model depicts the mount of Gustav Rodel. His white 4 has Gruppenkommander markings for II./JG 27. Yet, none of his 50 kills score is presented. TC indicated that by the end of 1943 all Experten followed his example.
