lavony Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hi What is the recommended kit for building 1/48 Kfir C2? Is it the AMK or the Kinetic? Thanks Yossi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff C Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Having both kits, I have a strong preference for the AMK. Keep in mind that the original release of the AMK kit had some issues with the coke bottle shape and they redid the kit after getting negative feedback. I’m patiently waiting for the F-21 version to be released. cliff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I've seen amazing builds from both the AMK and Kinetic kits however I believe most prefer the former. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hubbie Marsten Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 ^^^ That, right there. I concur. I didn't want to post my input because so many people will accuse me of being against AMK, but now that mate shion has posted this comparison picture, let me tell you that the difference in width in relation to the cockpit tubs between the Kinetic and AMK Kfir C2 kits not only makes the bang seat too wide but also the IP coaming and windshield. This difference in width is very noticeable when looking at the AMK kit head-on; it just looks odd in this area, and that's not to mention the ill-shaped Coke bottle contour in the fuselage of the first molded kits.

So I understand that the winner by points is Kinetic… Thanks for everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both kits need of an aftermarket exhaust tho. If you buy the Wingman Models 1/48 Kfir C2 kit, you'll get both the Kinetic plastic + detailed resin bits for it (a lot of resin stuff and assorted decal options as well).
