Oh nice I love that scheme too.

The wings do droop a bit (anhedral or dihedral, never can recall which one's down and which one's up) on the real thing, but that looks a bit excessive. I doubt anyone'll notice when it's done tho'. Funny, I'm reading Shlomo Alonis book about the IAF First Fighter Squadron at the moment, the Shahak features prominently!

Looking forward to seeing more of this Mish. I realluy need to make the one I have in 72nd

Thanks guys, I have established,Martin, that the anhedrel is supposed to be there and only this kit and the Heller reproduced it correctly.
