Hello everyone! I have returned this time with this F-35I Adir from the israeli air force. I had been trying to get one of these down for a while but I couldn’t find an accurate enough F-35 to make it. Thankfully the goat reinmcdeer came in clutch and released this beauty. I wanted to also give it some tail art but i couldn’t figure out how to make it without having the stabilizer faze through the art so I’ll try to do that again at a later time. This awesome bird completes my israeli air force series I’ve been doing. I might make more IAF aircraft but for now this is all of them. Thank you!

The F-35I Adir is Israel's customized version of the F-35 Lightning II, a fifth-generation stealth fighter jet designed to outperform older generation aircraft in stealth, advanced sensors, and network-centric warfare capabilities. "Adir" means "Mighty" in Hebrew, reflecting its formidable capabilities.

Key Features:

• Stealth Capabilities: Designed to evade enemy radar, making it ideal for operations in heavily defended areas
• Advanced Electronic Warfare: Equipped with Elbit Systems' electronic warfare suite, enabling precise detection, targeted jamming, and electronic countermeasures
• Customized Sensors and Data Links: Allows integration of Israeli-developed systems, enhancing its tactical flexibility
• Local Weaponry Integration: Can carry domestically manufactured guided bombs and air-to-air missiles, such as Python-5 and Derby missiles
• Extended Range: Modified with compliant external fuel tanks, enabling long-range missions without refueling.

The F-35I Adir has demonstrated its effectiveness in various combat operations, including intercepting drones and cruise missiles, and conducting deep strikes in enemy territory. Its advanced capabilities and Israeli-specific modifications make it a crucial asset in Israel's defense strategy.
