I would of email you, but since you are already watching this topic....
I'd like to ask your permission to repaint your Gazelle to one of the captured syrian AF Gazelles that were used by the Israeli Air Force.
May I?

oh erez, did you see this baby Smiley
It's the MiG-21 IAF got from a defecting iraqi pilot..
i think it's a sweet idea numbering 007..
...
It's from this plane that israel could locate the main vulnerability of the MiG-21, its fueltank just aft of the cockpit.. a single bullet in that tank would either instantly kill the pilot/navigator or break the plane in 2. By exploiting that vulnerability IAF was able to shoot many Mig-21s down with Mirage III (not yet kfir) during one of the wars (i think it's the six day war(correct me if i'm wrong))..
interesting Smiley, sorry for going off topic everyone Wink 8)

Yeah I saw that beautiful Mig-21.... too bad I can't get payware...
Thank you GMAXFLIGHT! I'll start working on it soon Wink
BTW asnamara, when I was in the IAF museum about a year ago, I saw a MIG-21, but it wasn't the original defecting one.
After we studied the airplane well (and I believe those was the Neshers [Israeli Mirage 5] that shut down many MIG-21s in the Yom kipur war) we sent it to the US, and when the IAF museum project was started in the IAF, we asked him back and they did sent us a mig-21, but not the defecting Iraqi one. We told them that, and they sent another mig-21 but that wasn't the original either. It was later decided to paint this MIG to the original MIG's colors, and that's the one in the IAF museum.
But from all the captured airplanes, I believe we only used the Gazelle, probably because it's a modern and western helicopter, that we can get to flying mode and get spare parts, unlike the the MIG-21 (that by the way was nearly used by the IAF, but that's another story and if you want asnamara I will tell you it in PM).
