exdraken Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Avantgarde Model kits AMK Kfir C2 the new and very comprehensive Kfir decals sheets " Dazzling Kings I & II" with lots of stencils in English, Spanisch, etc, to build nearly any Kfir that is not operated by the Israeli AF/DF It will be a Sri Lankan Air Force (SLAF) C2 with very spartan markings with the Pre 2008? roundels Interestingly SLAF Kfirs are equiped with the newer (MK10?) ejection seat (according to all pics I found on the net) which cockpit would the informed one use in this Kfir? the C2 or the C7 version? These kfirs seem to be a hybrid... :~ now the AMK kit: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234925006-148th-iai-kfir-c2c7-by-avantgarde-model-kits-released/page-3?hl=kfir The kit is very nice! Close to Tamiya quality in my opinion! Very clear panel lines, superb fit, it nearly falls together! thanks for looking and thanks as well for any kind of criticism and ideas !

exdraken Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 sorry for the late & small update: intakes painted offwhite, cockpit primed and for illustrating how well the kit fits together: NO glue used yet! especially around the air intakes... :) and fuselage - wing - air intake fit.. marvelous! red warning markings to be masked for future work! thanks for looking and comments!

exdraken Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 paintwork mainly done off-white/ very light grey on undersides, light grey on the upper side more soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 I used an Aires resin nozzle as a replacement of the inner details lacking AMK one. The Afterburner section of AMK is quite nice, so I left it as is. although quite a lot will be hidden , the outstanding inner detail makes the effort worth it in my opinion!

exdraken Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Aztecs decals don't provide sufficiently broad walk way decals for the kfir, so I decided o paint them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Looks awesome mate. Was dubious that a grey Kfir might look a bit dull but it really doesn't! Howard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Looks awesome mate. Was dubious that a grey Kfir might look a bit dull but it really doesn't! Howard its even more colourful than that! the Multipe ejector rack "NAPGACH" seem to be to be an adapted MER: still unpainted though have not decided on an external load yet- shoulder pylons (2 versions in the kit! ) or centerline NAPGACH or even (correct size ) supersonic tank? Aztec's decals work quite well, the red markings seem to be a bit broad for the danger markings though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j8kob_F Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I love your in-flight shots of the model. I'm definitely going to do that when my MIG-23 has a fuselage and wings Cheers! Jakob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Great looking Kfir and nice to see one in something other than IDF markings and camo. Gary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 AMK supplies a muliple ejector rack, similar ot a US MER the Israeli NAPGACH with 4 Mk-82 GP bombs, I'm not sure if all six would fit in theory, so I mounted only 4: regards, Werner 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
