RKic Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Is there anything out there with Israeli markings/conversions already in box? My modeling budget for the year is close to running dry. I'm looking for something in 1/72...maybe a Spitfire, or F-15, or anything really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderGrunt Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Rkic I think I have seen a Mirage or Kfir Boxing, and a scooter with IAF also some S.199's. Im not a 1/72 guy but I rember seeing somewhere. http://cgi.ebay.com/AVIA-S-199-1-48-Academ...id=p3286.c0.m14 http://cgi.ebay.com/ESCI-1-48-IAF-MIRAGE-I...id=p3286.c0.m14 Edited November 2, 2008 by ThunderGrunt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hasegawa did some stuff. Mosquito and B-17 at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4scourge7 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Mirage http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=AML72010 ER..wow! Not many. There are some resin kits but they are more expensive than buying an injection kit and decals. Most, if not all, the Hasegawa stuff was short-run and is now out-of-production. There is the Hasegawa and Italeri Kfirs of course. Now defunct Esci always seemed to include an Israeli version where possible. Sorry, but current OOB is limited. I think this is why Isra and Sky`s decals exist, to plug a wide gap in the market. Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RKic Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Hasegawa did some stuff. Mosquito and B-17 at least. I have seen both of those. I don't know about the 17, but Hasegawa's Mosquito is a freaking joke. I would not recommend the kit to anybody. Is the B-17 the old timer with new decals or a new tool? I may try the Italeri Kfir, as it seems to be readily available in local shops. I'll have to take a look around though, maybe Big Bear will have something in their oldies but goodies stash Edited November 3, 2008 by RKic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoops Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Hasegawa has done a number of limited edition releases of Israeli aircraft. F-15A/C http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00624 F-16D http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00174 RF-4E http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00823 P-51 http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00617 AH-64 http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00264 and of course they have their Kfir C2 as well. I personally like it better than the Italeri kit. It has raised panel lines, but the fit, shape and detail is better in my opinion. Cheers, -Jared Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaronacw Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Dont forget the AH-1S in 1/72 from Hasegawa. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
