very impresive list, but somehting is missing..... oops...my F-4E.

i think it is a project for 2014...what do you think my friend?

also, i see my vautour staring in your 2013 list.

When I see these builds, first reaction is WOW. nice work, beautiful an skillful builds.
second reaction is: I wouldn't have the patience.
third reaction would be: where does he put all these models.

and with the 50 kits for next year, you'll have to be doing one model per week.

Congratulations.

Ahhh, the memories. Very nice job on all these. A very eclectic group. Your modeling subjects are diverse in the "things that fly" category. Those little schleppers came out great too, and could stand on their own merits.

They are all fantastic Isaac. You've done a great job on the builds, and the photos.

Yes, thanks to you, I started the year with your repainted and corrected Vautour IIA. I always wanted to build that airplane and finally did.

Maybe a new design for a 1/32 or 1/33 scale Vautour IIN could be next?

Pictures from internet for reference only here:




I built one in 1/48 scale plastic kit a few years ago and have all 3 versions ( the IIA, IIB, and IIN ) in 1/72 scale plastic.



And yes, I plan to build your F-4E this year as well ( but not immediately ). I want to build your latest one as well as the karpada colored one.

I would like to add on to my 1/33 scale IAF collection later on (Meteor, Fouga magister, Mystere, Mirage, Nesher, Kfir, F-16, F-15I... )


I usually build 1 model per month, but sometimes it takes longer depending on my travels and the complexity of the model. I also have other interests that compete for my time. I may if I can, decide to visit Israel next year as well.


Thank you for your great support to this forum as well as myself.



Best regards

Many thanks.

Previously, I had a large place to show them off. Now, I am on assignment and most are packed up in storage ( over 250 plastic and paper models I built over many years ). However, I currently display about 30 of them, but am running out of space. So I rotate the displays by placing some in large plastic containers.
