Kfir

Scale:
1:72
Status:
In progress
Started:
October 23, 2023

I felt the strong urge to build something israeli. Having a Fouga Magister and a Kfir in my stash I opted for the latter. With a Super Mystere and a Mustang in two tone camouflage it is now time for the three tone one on the Kfir.

The Kfir. When France, who was the main arms supplier of Israel until the end of the sixties, terminated that role and even installed an arms embargo in 1967 Israel produced the Kfir out of a mix of reverse engineering the Mirage IIIC already in service, industrial espionage and own development. In service from the mid of the seventies it´s air superiority role was soon taken over by F15s and F16s and the Kfir was mainly used as a ground attack aircraft.
There are quite a few of these aircraft scattered throughout the country, mostly the earlier C2 version. You find them in Museums, at the center of roundabouts or in front of Airforce Camps. The upgraded C7 you will find at the Airforce Museum in Hatzerim, close to Beersheva.
My version will be a C7.

Paint job is not perfect (as expected) but should form a decent base after some touch ups.
