Air Hockey Propellers Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hello everyone. This is one of the three models I've done since my last WIP. I really like this jet because it shows how Israel was so willing to have jets that they made them themselves. The body was painted with Mr Color Lacquer paints well diluted and mixed with retarder. The camouflage was painted with the assistance of liquid latex. I only had a few mistakes, most noticeably the left number decal on the fin and a few few bubbles on the bottom. The front antennae broke in two parts when the model slid off my hand while holding it too gently w/o gloves. I hope you like! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi Alberto, your Kfir looks very tasty. And there is nothing wrong with a Kfir: after all it is a Mirage, and there is nothing more sexy than a Mirage... well, maybe a Kfir! Lucky you! Hasegawa kits must be really cheap in Japan! Well done and Congrats! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi Alberto! Nice Kfir! Have built a Kfir from the same kit in the late eighties but choose the brown/green camouflaged version. Cheers, Mario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight_Flyer Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Very nice build. The Hasegawa Kfir was a favorite of mine first time in the hobby. Kit was a good one to build only let down by the decals that was quite difficult to apply. Could be it was a very early boxing I bought and the decals had lost their adhesion over time. The scheme was the one with the orange and black triangles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done and Congrats! JR Thanks! And oh yes, they're cheap. Some are even less than 10$, while most wont go over or around 20$. How much do they cost where you live? 13 hours ago, Mario said: Hi Alberto! Nice Kfir! Have built a Kfir from the same kit in the late eighties but choose the brown/green camouflaged version. Cheers, Mario Initially I thought they only came blue-grey, but I got my knowledge from a flight.simulator. Painting it the other way is still admireable though. Too difficult for me! 7 hours ago, djos said: Very nice build. I have both Hasegawa and Italeri, but i prefer Hasegawa Thanks. I decided not to buy Italeri ever again after six kits of theirs beeing all but one, disasterous. In the meantime, Hasegawas fit flawlessly. And many thanks for your comments and likes! Next model shall be a Fujimi Sea King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being free like that was too good to be true. Hopefully theyll change their business model and start charging something reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
