IAI Dagger

PM Model IAI Nesher in the colours of FAA Dagger based at Rio Grande, June 1982 

PM Model's 1:72 Scale Model Kit of the IAI Nesher in the colours of the FAA Dagger  

Using my new found Blu Tack skills in applying camouflage, I had a couple of attempts in producing the various shades of green and brown as used at this time, trying also not to over paint the unusual yellow markings on wing and tail. 

Rather than completing it in the IAF colours provided, I used a set of Xtradecal Falklands War decals for the Argentine FAA Dagger C-401 as flown by Lt Jorge Ratti.  

My IAI Nesher 1:72 scale model kit, from the lesser known Turkish company PM Model, was probably one of the simplest and least detailed builds I've encountered. Don't look too closely at those vents for instance!
