flybywire Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Hi to all ARC readers! I'd just like to ask anybody especially those experts on IDF/IAF, what should be the color of the canopy interiors for F-16A Netz, F-15I Ra'am, A-4 Ahit, F-4 Kurnass and IDF Mirage IIICJs? I had found one or two images here and there in the net but there were just not good representatives for those areas of my concern. Some were far enough and worst masked by shadows. I'm preparing the paints for all those kits and just don't want to start without all the cards on the table. Your expertise will be greatly appreciated!

Netz Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) Most will be black, I think the Mirages might be grey. If you can find any photo of the interiors of these a/c, and not specifically IDF/AF versions they should all be the same. Curt Edited December 2, 2010 by Netz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I just checked a few pictures. They are all black. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flybywire Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hi Curt! Thank you very much for all those info! I have one more question to ask. What version/s of the Ahit could you find the underwing gun barrels near the wing root? I have seen pictures of Ahits with "humps" but there were no black flash pannels nor gun barrels. By the way I will be using the Hasegawa !/48 A-4E/F kit with Isradecal IAF-60 decal sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Any of them could have 30mm guns. You really need to chose the A/C (by number) that you want to do and research that specific airframe for the time frame you want to build, this basically applies to any IDF/AF a/c as they do so many mods, there just is no blanket answer when it comes to the IDF. I've seen the "E" with no electronics hump that has 30mm photographed in 1972, H's N's both with and without 30mm. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flybywire Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hi to both of you Curt and Martin! Many thanks for those info anyway, but I was actually looking for answers for the CANOPY interior color, not the cockpit per se, just double checking if we're talking of the same banana. You could refer back to my first posting and you could see there that I wrote CANOPY INTERIOR. Thanks again for the added info that you've provided!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Correct, my first response was directed to the canopy frame. The second was to correct the cockpit interior colors. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
