supersonicoBR Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'd never have thought of going darker camo colour first... you've just saved me a great deal of grief and probably a vicious cursing-the-masks session on mine :P great job on the deltas, it's always a pleasure to watch such talent in full stride. might I suggest you do a brazilian IIIE next? (hint hint) could be natural metal, could be gray-on-gray, could be the commemorative 30 years "parrot" scheme... keep at it! la revedere! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bad edd Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 I blended the colors a bit, as in some pictures of grey Kfirs one can barely notice the different shades. I then used the ink/future mix hand-brushed on the panel lines, then two coats of future. It's now shiny like a coin. Tomorrow's the decal day: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dragan_mig31 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 wow edd this one is a beuty.cant wait to see it done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 The Smashing Parrot squadron on the grey schemed Kfir is one of my favorites. For some reason it just looks better than over the desert camoflague scheme. I am looking forward to seeing this one decalled Ed! Cheers, Jared Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bad edd Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Lots of decals...still have to apply some on the undersides: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sv51macross Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 So, i have a question (fantastic work on all so far, btw. ) ;the equadorian (it is equador, right, the one with droptank bombracks?) Kfir looks like it has a radome, it has none of the nose shape of a normal kfir, the nose comes to apoint and has smooth, consistent curve. Did the equadorian kfirs have radar, was this a fluke aircraft, or...what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bad edd Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 That is a Venezuelan Mirage 50, it has a Cyrano radar, similar to the one on the Mirage F1 (because i'm lazy I put it in the Kfir thread...) The decals are now all done, i also painted the black nose, antennae and the wheel bays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alrite Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nice! Those red stencils sure are RED lol, I thought the scheme was meant to be low-vis I guess you will make this lightly armed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Another great-looking Kfir! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Antoine Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Well, another great topic that I'll have to download. You should now think about a kfir with the tsniut nose, Bad Edd. I'll certainly build one, with the help of the AML kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bad edd Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Thank you all! Think I still have time for another? I'll try! This time, a "fence", the small canard C1 Kfir. So far the canards are done, also the antennae and scoops. I lengthened the belly rack and made the the missile rails a little pointier. This one will be armed with 6 MK-20 Rockeyes ans two AIM-9Ds. I intend to adapt two drop tanks to MADNAP , the bomb carrying fuel tank. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
