Ok Here We go ... Feeling good the Mechanical troubles are over ... So to bring Me out of my Building slump ... I'm gonna do this one ... I can find instances of this thing used by Israel & they helped develop it ... Hopefully I'll seek it in here ... The predecessor was the RQ-2 Pioneer, This is the upgraded RQ-7B Shadow all electronics made by IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd.)

Gerry we're only leaving this open for those who hasn't finished, not for new stuff. Is there another campaign this will fit in?

I had ordered this for this Campaign ... Just couldn't pull the trigger on it until the end of the build ... not having a kit to do startup photos I couldn't start the build. But I supect you could move it to the Deja vu 2nd chance ???

Al righty then ... I slowed up a bit this morning while painting the motor I managed to launch it ...

It was in my catchall drawer that I model over ... but on the opposite side of where I was looking :woohoo: ... Found it now painting it again ... I'll try to get some photos up soon ... :pilot
