IAI looks to offload unsold Argentine Kfirs

[Slater]

I like that camo scheme on the Kfir pictured. Presumably a "that looks about right" pattern by the owners?

The USN and Marines used Kfirs for DACT back in the eighties in a very attractive camouflage scheme. I know because I built the Hasegawa version in those very colours. One of my favourite builds in fact.

Hmm, the RAF is closely looking at its Red-Air options right about now.

 

Quick whif, anyone?

Cough, cough, err... money?

They could potentially be used on the UK military register by a civilian company under contract to the MoD. I'm sure that the likes of Hawker Hunter Aviation at Scampton could be a possibility.

The RN could use them as unmanned target drones for anti aircraft practice.
