This is what I've used for my bug. https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/p/fl32-2009-fa-18abcd-wheels-for-academy As for rubber tires, Trumpeter's seem to be ok so far, have them on Su-27UB for about 7 or 8 years.

According to login screen they should send you a temporary password. "Enter your e-mail, we will send you a confirmation code by email. If you log in for the first time, we will automatically create a personal account for you" So I suggest two things: try to use different email (gmail usually works) and/or different browser. I don't remember whether they allow guest checkout on English site.

I don't have this set yet, the info and photos are from Israeli modelling facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/325942846989).

From Israeli modeliing group on Facebook: Isradecal is about to release F-16D conversion for Academy Sufa kit. It will include dorsal electronics bay, Python-4/5 missile rails, various antennas and decals.

I'd guess this towbar is not for aircraft but for various airfield equipment, ordnance and drop tanks carts etc.

I've read this on Russian forum. No timeline.

It is postponed so F-16 will be first.

In my experience, most of EU stores deduct VAT for out of EU customers. My last order from Czech Republic was in late November last year from Modelimex. They charged no VAT so I can't tell whether this is a new Czech law or just new store policy. Usually if store's site doesn't deduct VAT, I just don't buy and don't bother inquiring.

Russian post has no record of this package after May 7 2022. So I guess USPS probably "lost" it. https://www.pochta.ru/tracking?barcode=RB309217569RU I have my own "funny" postal story. Some 3-4 years ago I've sent a small package to my friend in Russia. It made its way to Saratov where local post office messed it up and finally rerurned it to sender. The package appeared in the USPS tracking in NYC on its way back and came all the way to Shreveport - the final point before being delivered to me. From there it went to Miami and even cleared export customs apparemtly on the second

Most has been said, I'd add AMK MiG-31 and Kfir to this list. Also Kitty Hawk Su-30SM and Su-34 are not that bad. They might not be perfectly accurate but can be built into very nice models with moderate effort.

Did you try asking in IPMS Israel group on Facebook?

Some forum engines allow setting various limitations to the new users including pre-moderation of preset number of posts or something like habu2 suggested. However this usuay requires admin rights which I guess only Steve has.

No thinning needed, they come ready to use in airbrush.

I'm quite flexible, but generally prefer larger(1/32) scale depending on subject and available space. But I have no problem going down to 1/48 if large kit is not accurate enough. E.g., Trumpeter Flanker vs. GWH.
