habu2 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 According to scalemates there are four boxings, and the only differences are the decal sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only difference is Israeli avionics.  It won’t matter modeling wise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
