After two months off from building, I am back.
I decided to continue building Yoav's fine collection of IAF jets in 1/30 scale.
This time it is the French designed Dassault Ouragan fighter bomber from the 50's.
This is one of those early jets ( Generation 1 + ). Very simple barrel fuselage with a straight wings. I tend to like the early jets and this one as well.
The paint scheme is post Six Days War with the green, brown and tan colors. The original Ouragans were serving in natural metal and then were painted with the brown and blue camouflage on top ( pre and during the Six Day War ).
So far I am aware of Yoav's original build
Md-450 ouragan - building report
Md-450 ouragan - finished model
as well as Ron's
MD 450 OURAGAN building by RON PERSKI
However, both are built in the flying configuration and as you know, I like the planes on the ground with the landing gear down. So I will most likely use my previously built Ouragan from the Answer kit.
If anyone seen a build of Yoav's kit with the gear down, let me know.
I will add the external load of bombs and rockets later.
Thanks
Stay tuned.
Isaac
