My first attempt at
a modern jet fighter in a long long time. An Israeli Air Force F-15A "Baz".
Built from one of Hasegawa's older F-15C Eagle kits. With a replacement Legend
ACES-II ejection seat and decals from the Microscale "Israeli Mig
Killers" (48/258) set. Used Gunze Sangyo paints throughout, and
weathered with Promodeller washes.

Depicting plane
No.658 "Typhoon", (written in Hebrew on the nose) of the Double Tail
Squadron. Credited with 2 Kills, both Syrian Migs.
O Lapidot was
credited with the first kill of the Lebanon War on June 7th 1982, shooting down
a Mig 23 with an AIM-9 Sidewinder. Two days later G Rapaport claimed another Mig
23 destroyed with an AIM-7 Sparrow.
Thanks for looking.
