This
is the Italeri Mk 100 used by the Australians, the NATO flying training school
and several other nations. The only
mods required were the removal of the chaff and flare dispenser at the base of
the fin, the sidewinder rails on the wing tips and the formation lights.
The wing tip rails were replaced by scratch built mass balancers.
The aircraft is in the overall grey adopted by all IAF aircraft since 2000.
The model is hand painted in local enamels and decals are from the spares
box and from Bright Spark
UK.
