This is my 1/72 spitfire in IAF colours.  Based in the kit of Italeri and decals of Superscale.  This is the black spitfire of Ezer Weizman, a former RAF fighter pilot and nephew of Israel's first President.

He flew this spitfire and insisted on the IAF retaining it after all the others were sold to Burma. 

Weizman rose to become the IAF commander and reportedly would give this spitfire a workout in his free time.  Later Weizman became Israel´s President.
