Nice job! Is this one an Israeli Phantom killer?

Thank you, I'm not sure about a Phantom killer. I will be adding new pics after I add the weathering. Ive been studying photos of the real one to get some good ideas. I'm not going to over do it though, but just to give it more of a combat look.

Some weathering added to the top side, very light whisping and very small paint chipping.

Wow what decals did you use?

They were the kit decals. They worked really good. I used future underneath to avoid any silvering, works really great. Decals that need to follow contours may require a good solvent Micro sol/set or Walther's. Usually Ill go with the aftermarket after I do a test with the kit spares to check how well they will lay down.

Just a rock solid build. Your camo paint scheme is simply outstanding and perfectly applied. Same for your decal application, as they look just like they were painted on. Your lite weathering adds just that little extra touch of realism. Thanks for sharing your build with us.
