Hi all

I am a fellow South African modeler who likes to shamefully build Israeli equipment. This doen't dampen my patrotism as I read all books I can get my hands on about the SADF. I recently bought Peter Stiff's books on the Recces and Koevoet and are reading them in my of moments.

I got told about this forum by George Winship in P.E and hope to add something possitive.

Lastly. Is this forum only for those from South Africa? I know a guy in Finland who builds only South African models. I think we can be of some help to him here.

Hi Theunis

Welcome to the big A. Glad to have another Saffer here. :-)

I'm really glad George is spreading the word. We'll have to thank Bren, who I am sure you will speak to at some point, for telling George about the site.

This appears to be the only forum specifically for a South African community, but as you can see we mainly interact on the main Armorama forums. We tend to discuss specifically local or SANDF issues here before going to the big wide world.

Once again, great to have you aboard.

Welcome aboard, Theunis

What type of Israeli equipment do you build?

Hi Cougar

The odd aircraft and a lot of tanks. I just ordered 4 Academy M60 kits from George and will order the resin bits from overseas as soon as my finaces alow to build a super Israeli M 60 collection.

Welcome!

Glad too see results from using George's mailing list.

Nothing shameful 'bout builing Israeli stuff, they have some real gems of equipment there.

See ya,

Erik
