IAF F-4E Phantom (AKA "Kurnas") - 1:33 scale

Hello,
I am posting this on behalf of one of our Israeli paper modelers community member - Yoav - as he is too shy and modest.
This model fills me up with great pride as Yoav basically developed, planned and built all by himself.
The inspiration came from an IAFM model from back in the 70's but most parts were altered dramatically and many were designed from scratch.

Lets start with the fuselage...

*apologies for the pic format.

Next is cockpit and canopy.
Panels are real pics from real cockpit integrated into the model.
Canopy is by Gomix intended for the Maly Modelers 1:33 F-4.
Note the level of detail in and out the canopy.

Can't have a "wing man" with no wings... right?
Challenge here was to get a perfect fit on the wing root as the model is relatively large and the body is "curved".
