  1. Hello my friends, I would like to thank you all the kind comments you made to my Kfir I will try to post more works, but i'm very lazy taking pictures Best Regards, Pedro Matos Hello Motty, I used Isradecal decals for stenciling, the numbers i believe i also used isradecal, the triangules were airbrushed and also the red and white strpie on the rudder. Best Regards, Pedro Matos Hello Exdraken, You are correct, indeed those are Mk.117 i saw a picture on Israpublication Kfir book so i had to put them The Exhaust is from Aires, the kit's exhaust is garbage, very poor compared with the real thing. Best Regards, Pedro Matos
  2. Hello Fellow Modelers, I leave you some photos of one of my latest Work, the 1/48 Kfir C-2 from kinetic I hope you like it Best Regards, Pedro Matos
  3. Another superb build, i'm only sorry that i didn't have the oportunity to see it live, but from what the pictures show, it's perfect. Parabéns Amigalhaço, mais um kit muito bem executado. Best Regards, Pedro matos
  4. Hello Nick, Amazing work! No words to describe it, keep posting the updates. Best regards, Pedro Matos
  5. Hello Dr.Jellyfingers, After seeing your post only one word occurs to me: WOW!!!! you shoud change your nickname to: Dr. Magicfingers Best regards, Pedro Matos
  6. Hello again, Thank you all for your kind comments, i will put more pictures when i have more progress Next step will be detailing the engines and the bomb rack. Best regards, Pedro Matos Hello Moffles, it was not an easy task, but i will try to explain how i did it: On the roof of the cockpit the kit as a plastic structure (where the doors are) i drilled that structure on the both sides(front and back) then i inserted a steel wire that suported the plastic hinges that i scratchbuilt. The most difficult part is to get the doors locked when opened, and when the doors shuts the fit must be perfect, but after some work i got it right. i didn't take pictures of that Thanks for the interest Best Regards, Pedro Matos
  7. Front and main Landing Gears: Hope you liked Best Regards from Portugal Pedro Matos
  8. Hello Fellow modellers, This is my first post here, and i would like to share with you the work that i been doing for some time, i believe 5 months. I bought this kit already started to a modeller that did not to build the kit anymore, and i'm begining to understand why. I removed the paint of the kit, and stripped to the bone again, i used Neomega seats and Photoetched from Extratech(ESCI kit) on the interior. This kit has Several issues that for the money that the kit costs, i shound't have to deal with them, here are some of them could be more: Cockpit Windscreen is with wrong shape Landing Gears are a total joke The engines have very little detail The support of the bomb Rack is wrong (not aligned correctly) Has no detail for the front "cameras" and had to scratchbuit the one behind of the landing gear. The tail near the engines has no detail at all i had to scratchbuilt also The air intake is hollow, i fully scratchbuit it. If you want to leave the flaps down you have to cut the inner ones because Trumpeter forgot But enough talk, here are the pictures(sorry for the quality): Mr. Big: Air Intake: Cockpit (The canopy doors Open and close): Inner Flaps: Air Scoops(all opened) Front Nose and Behind Front landing Gear "cameras": The camera and the cover glass are already made. Tail Detail: The landing Gear will follow on the next reply
  9. Hello, I had the privilege of seeing it live, and also i saw the construction and for the size of the kit (1/72 scale), it's an outstanding job. Best regards my friend, Pedro Matos Está fabuloso! onde é que eu já ouvi isto?
