IAI Lavi
-
Hello !
For my Israeli friends, I decided to start IAI Lavi !
This aircraft never reached operational status even it flew in real life, but it’s a symbol for Israel, so, here we go !
This model may be used for personal entertainment and can be redistributed in your BMS theaters. Please don’t forget to credit my work in this case. Any kind of non BMS use is forbidden !
Cheers,
Radium

Hello everybody !
שלום לכולם
I am very happy to present you my latest updates of my Lavi.
Basically, the global shape of the aircraft is there. Still some works on the tail, but also here and then. But technically speaking, she is here.
Considering that this aircraft was still in experimental stage when it was cancelled by Israel governement, I implemented a couple of slight modifications to make it look like what I felt to be the final aircraft.
That being said, you will not see it clearly, This Lavi 98% accurate to the available pictures available (blueprints are all wrong).
Stay tuned !

@Radium A masterpiece !!!
-
@Radium r u interesting about the f16’s cockpits projects sorry for my english
-
@sheref hello, what do you mean ?
-
@Radium hi radium.
If I may offer a few observations on your model from my perspective. The fuselage behind the canopy (around the middle of the wing) seems too skinny and that mean it also lacks the curve/taper towards the exhaust nozzle at the rear.

Hello everybody,
I am very happy to publish the first screenshots of my Lavi, inflight !
Both halves are now welded, and except a couple of updates, it starts to be good.
On my screenshots, you see that PW1120 engine’s nozzle are wide open, just because it’s not animated yet.
Gear doors are now implemented, but gears are not yet completed.
Of course, I just applied a diffuse color, it’s not final at all.
I guess, I will do liveries :
- IAF 115th Squadron (F-16A style)
- IAF 105th Squadron (F-16D style)
Cheers !
