My local IPMS group, Georgia Mountain Modelers, is doing a group build. It is a pretty broad subject matter to choose from as it can be "Anything Israeli" armor, aircraft, or any other genre, from 1947 to present.
I chose the Kinetic 1:48 Israeli F-16I "Sufa", which evidently means "Storm". An initial order of 102 aircraft was placed in 1997 and was delivered in 2003 and first flown under Israeli colors in February 2004.
The kit has 28 sprue, 5 of which are clear, plus one clear canopy. Oddly enough, several of the sprue are lettered the same, but are different. That alone will make for some confusion for me. I have already started on the build before remembering to take pictures. Sorry about that. What jogged my memory was when the instructions called for parts "MM4" and "MM5". The pieces shown in the instructions look nothing like those on the sprue, so I began going through the other sprue and found the parts as "P4" and "P5". I still haven't found part "Z7". Then, I thought, "I should tell the guys about this in my thread", then thought...oops. So, here it is, even if it is late.
That is it so far. I hope I don't hame much more trouble with mislabeled parts.
