Yoav Efrati's built 1/72 Special Hobby Mirage F.1s shown at IPMS IL

Several of our 1/72 Mirage F.1 models were displayed at IPMS Israel convention a couple of days ago, the models being superbly built by an IPMS IL member and our collaborator Yoav Efrati.  And not just these built Mirages, other Special Hobby model kits were hugely admired by the visitors too, let us mention for example the pre-production test shots of the upcoming 1/72 Super Mystere / Sa'ar kit.  As Yoav was one of the guys who had helped us while we were designing the Super Mystere, we were more than happy to share our test sprues with him.

The USAF operated their Thunderstreaks, also affectively known as Super Hogs, both in the USA and over Europe. In the UK, the 20th TBW USAF F-84F jets were also fitted with a special underwing rack that enabled them to carry and deliver a tactical nuke. Deliveries of the F-84F made the Europe's air forces, from the very north down to the southern NATO flank, much stronger and effective and the jet kept flying from mid 1950s up to the early 70s and with some forces even longer. Besides Europe, the F-84F was also operated over Israel during the Suez War (manned by their French crew even though bearing Israeli markings to disguise France's involvement) and al
