Israeli girls write messages in Hebrew on shells ready to be fire by mobile artillery unit toward Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon 17 July 2006, at a military staging area along the northern Israeli border with Lebanon. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert vowed today to continue Israel's punishing twin offensive against the "terrorists" of Hezbollah and Hamas, declaring his country was facing a "moment of truth". At least 47 people were killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon today and 10 more bodies found, pushing the death toll from the Israeli offensive to more than 200 over the past six days. The overall toll now comprises 195 civilians and 12 soldiers killed in Lebanon since 12 July, medics and police said. Nine of the 12 soldiers were killed today. More than 440 people have been wounded.

Combat Intelligence Soldiers Train in the South
The Combat Intelligence Corps operates to collect intelligence in the field. They must make use of their surroundings and environment in order to camouflage themselves. The Nahshol Company is a combat intelligence company which is made up solely of women, from the soldiers to the company commander. These are some photos from their routine exercise in the Southern Region.

Painting and markings:
A French service aircraft would have been the 1st choice, but all aircraft from that era were left bare metal – with the rough putty surface not the best choice, and it might have looked rather F-86D-style?
Camouflaged French aircraft came later, with the imported F-100s and the SMB2, and those were rather tactical schemes.
So, I looked for an alternative, also in foreign countries, and settled on Belgium. The real Belgian Air Force situation is described above, and one can only wonder why they settled for the huge and rather ineffective CF-100, as it only carried unguided air-to-air rockets on the wing tips, but no cannon at all. So, there would have been a place for a smaller and more agile night fighter in the BAF.
The paint scheme follows the BAF’s fashion of the late 1950ies: RAF-style, featuring a rather dark green/dark grey camouflage, with pale grey the lower surfaces, but not in BS colors, rather European NATO standard.
I settled for Revell 46 (RAL 6014, NATO olive green) and Modelmaster 2085 (actually RLM 75 - it is a tad lighter than Dark Sea Grey) as basic colors for the upper sides, and Modelmaster 2039 (FS 16515, Canadian Voodoo Grey) for the lower sides. This sounds like an odd combo, but after consulting real aircraft pics of that era the colors seemed to deteriorate quickly, esp. the green would bleach into even reddish hues and the grey turn very pale.
Consequently the aircraft was weathered thoroughly through dry-brushing the upper sides and the panel lines with several lighter tones. The green received a treatment with RLM 81(!) and Humbrol 155, esp. around the hot rear end of the afterburner extension, and the grey was lightened with Dark Sea Grey and FS 36231.
The kit also received a light black ink wash in order to emphasize contrasts - most details were painted onto the hull, as I didn't dare a new engraving on the mixed material underground.
After painting was done I could not help but consider the camouflaged Mystère IVN to look like a blown-up Fiat G.91T? Weird how a paint scheme affects perception! To be honest, I don’t find the paint scheme truly sexy, but together with the Belgian cockades and the red 350th Squadron markings the aircraft looks disturbing enough to make you look twice.
The cockpit interior was painted in dark grey, the landing gear wells and other interior surfaces were left in Aluminum.
The red and white wing tip pitots are a nice, colorful detail. I am not certain if these were unique to the IVN prototype, but I adopted them for my service version – and the stripes were taken from real world BAF CF-100s.
Tactical codes were improvised with single letters from TL Modellbau sheets. The squadron marking decals come from a Modeldecal aftermarket sheet (#100), they belong to a Belgian CF-100.
The roundels were partly taken from the same sheet, but also from a TL Modellbau roundels sheet, as the CF-100 insignia were much too large for the relatively compact Mystère IVN.

Jesse Proctor, 80th Fighter Squadron F-16 Fighting Falcon pilot, taxis out of a hangar during Red Flag-Alaska April 16. "Throwing snakes" is a visual way for 80th FS Headhunters, known as the "Juvats," to show their motto, "Crush 'Em." Airman Filewich and Captain Proctor are deployed from the 8th Fighter Wing, Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea. Red Flag-Alaska is a field training exercise that provides joint offensive counter-air, interdiction, close air support, and large force employment training in a simulated combat environment.
