Israeli and Italian F-16s 1/32

[cMags]

I just bought the Italian version as well a day or two ago. I'd watch for the update on the pilot names, but I'm planning to scale it down to 1:72 and in a test print it you can't read it anyway.

It is certainly true in 1:72 scale of the Drivers' names is very small.
But I think in scale 1:32 will be visible.

However, the names and rank of the Pilots:
"Col. Ciandanelli Paolo" which appears on the model is not correct; the correct one is "Col. Cianfanelli Paolo".

"MU Capoccia Fabio" which appears on the model is not correct.
He is a Marshal should appear correctly: "M.llo Capoccia Fabio"

like figure in this photo:

... And even better in this photo:

I realize that is a meticulousness and that these are small imperfections.
(To tell the truth I have corrected on my own page 4 of the file using Inkscape).
But in my opinion does not do justice to the model and manufacturer.

The livery that has been chosen is special. Of a particular moment.
It was to show this livery the day the official closing of our glorious 5th Wing that took place October 5, 2010.

The tail of the aircraft has been designed exclusively for the commemoration of that day.

On the 7th of March I received a message from "Paper Aircraft Models".
Mrs. Joanna informed me the correction took place on the Italian version of the model.
Thank here publicly Mrs. Joanna for his courtesy and urgency in the exchange of messages with me.
Fault anything on the model that is very precise and appealing to a very small price.
Unfortunately, I informed to have seen the Israeli version on a pirate site.

Orazio.

Thank you for your efforts, Orazio! I just downloaded the updated file. Hopefully, we will see more great kits from PMA
