1/48 F-16
Tuesday 23rd
December the Israel IPMS held the annual show in Herzeliya, just north of
Tel-Aviv (read: just north of the worst traffic jams). This year marked 20 years
since the national modelers club was founded, and a special ceremony was held
where certificates were given to those who have been members for 20 years
continuously. Some of them haven't aged much - most have put on a bit of weight
and lost some hair. As usual, some very skilled work was on display.

A special mention
must be made of Asher Roth's display. Asher was the clubs founder in 1988, and
he doesn't usually build a model of a subject - he builds the whole squadron.
Today he displayed models covering almost every type of helicopter flown by the
IAF, in every scheme carried.
1/48 T-6
Ra'anan Weiss, of
Isradecals, another 20 year veteran, had a little stand with his products on
display. Yuval Kizner displayed some beautiful models, including the Yak
52, judged best model, and Yacov Buchbut diplayed museum quality 1:32 scale
models under his trademark perspex covers (which hinders photography).
There seemed to be less armour than usual this year, and only two or three
ships.
Just a little taste
of the show...
