1/48 Hasegawa/Isradecal F-16I "Sufa"

Thanks to the availability of high quality kits in the market and being price conscious, it took a while until I finally tackled the conversion of the ubiquitous Hasegawa two seater Fighting Falcon and the Sufa conversion kit by Isradecal. Both kits are not quite up to scratch.

The Hasegawa mould showing its age and the Isradecal conversion suffering from quality control issues. Nonetheless, the result is quite adequate and compliments nicely my ever growing collection of IDF Falcons. Hence, if you manage to dodge the high price tags (like I did here) and are fond of IDF fighters, then this kit conversion is for you.
