Title: French plane in Israeli markings
Post by: Jicehem on October 14, 2008, 04:05:45 PM

Hi all,

Here is the Airfix F-84F Thunderstreak with the markings of the French Armée de l'air but with Israeli cocades during the Suez Campaign in November 1956.
Unit was EC 1/1 "Corse". Spa 69 insigna on the right of the fuselage, and SPA 88 on the left side.

Very interesting! You are not only excellent modeler but also expert for surprises, many of your kits are not common to see and they are result of historic research.
