Starfighter84 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Hello guys! I'm glad to present you my last work... a Kfir C7 from Kinetic! For this kit I used the following aftermarkets: Wingman Models cockpit,wheels & GBU-12 laser bombs. Master pitot & AOA. Isracast pylons & fuel tanks (the plastic tanks provided by Kinetic are completely wrong in dimensions). Quickboost air scoops & antennas. Aires exhaust. Decals are a mix from kinetic (very well done indeed) and Isradecal. Gunze Aqueos colors. Hope you enjoy my Kfir! Ciao!Valerio from Rome, Italy. :wave:/>/>/>/> Edited May 5, 2014 by Starfighter84 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomcat_ct Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Fantastic work!!! Exactly what Gunze Aqueos colors did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starfighter84 Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Thank you all for the kindly comments! :thumbsup:/> A stunning model like always Vale!

The LGBs are in a set of Wingman Models (a cooperation between Isradecal & AirDoc). The quality of the resin parts is not the best but the decal sheet is nice! Wingman produce it only in 1/48 scale. Spero di rivederti presto... un saluto! Exactly what Gunze Aqueos colors did you use? I gave you a partially wrong information! colors are Gunze & Tamiya: Sand H-313 Dark Earth H-310 Grey 36375 H-308 Light Green Tamiya Sky XF-21 :)/> Edited May 7, 2014 by Starfighter84 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vivkulan Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 That is a beautiful build.. Couple of questions. What chart material background you use for the photography what glues you use for attaching the bombs etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Just an outstanding build. Your camo paint scheme and decaling are absolutely perfect. And the Hebrew stenciling on the loads out is a very nice touch. And speaking of your loads out, theire extremely well done. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel_W Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Your gear is weathered absolutely perfectly. Your loads are painted and decaled to the same high standards as the aircraft itself. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Barr Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Really nice looking Kfir; you mentioned that the fuel tanks were the wrong dimensions, I have seen were the small supersonic tanks were off but can you give the proper dimensions for the tanks like the ones you used? Thanks Jim Barr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
