Thumbs up Some info

Firstly, Yoav brought to my attention a bit of trivia I did not know. The tri colored Ouragans never sported the shark mouth art on the nose. That was apparently done to the original silver bare metal originals as well as a hand full of the brown and blue coroled ones. The only one having a shark nose with the tri colored camouflage is the gate keeper that Yoav designed and that aircraft is only shown with the gear retracted. So for the purist, if you want a gear down version, we should not have the shark nose art.

however....


I am not a purist, so I will build it as is and add the landing gear and external loads like an operational aircraft....After all it is art.


also, I went thru some of my old reference material and found these pics from a 1958 Israel Air Force magazine.

The scooter advertising is for a Vespa ( Even IAF pilots launch with a Vespa ).
