IAF F-15A "Baz" (Eagle) - 1:33 Scale

Kit by Yoav Hosmi -- A big! project, I finally finished it, complete with a paper pilot. The canopy is a vacuform from GPM. Model length is 23 inches, wingspan 15 inches. It's another of Yoav's excellent kits. Its size made it a challenge, and any shortcomings are mine, not the kit's.

No offense but model deserves far better pictures than this.

Can you take it outside when/if weather allows and it's sunny enough? I found that even bottom shelf phone cameras can do excellent pictures of models but outdoors. Backyard or park is a great place to do it since green backdrop also can be helpful.

You're right. It's 40° and windy with a foot of snow. The model's too big for my light box. I'll work on it.

I really like what you did with the missel launching off the pilon. This is a great model. I look forward to some higher quality pictures of it.

Thanks. I got the idea from a model at an IPMS meet. It's a paper missile, a wooden dowel painted orange, and a stretched-out cotton ball.
I will post some better photos when I have time to take them.

It's one of Yoav Hozmi's Israeli jet kits. You can find it in the Downloads section of this forum. I reduced it from 1/30 to 1/33 so it would fit on letter-size sheets.

Excellent pictures,especially first 3. Light color background works wonders imho.

That's one very nice model. Yoav did great job with all of his models and every time I see picture of one it's stunner like yours.
