AMK 1/48 Kfir C7

March 27, 2024 · in Aviation · · 22 · 343

AMK's is a very good kit. It has nicely engraved panel lines and plastic parts are crisply molded. Thus, the fit of parts is very good except for the intakes to fuselage joints. This fault plagues most Mirage type molds of most manufacturers. My solution it to start the build with the attachment of intake covers to fuselage. It is much easier to get the panels flush on the same plane.

  1. Nicely done pair of Mariges, Rafi. I really like desert camo on anything, and this duo is no exception. Beautifuly executed.

  2. A beautiful pair of Kfirs! I'm a huge fan of the Mirage deltas, especially the "souped-up" versions.

  3. Excellent job, Rafi! Fantastic painting and weathering! As always!
    The final result of the aesthetically pleasing pair of Kfirs is really outstanding!

  4. A wonderful pair indeed, Rafi @blackmopane
    Both feature a nice scheme.

  5. Very sharp, Rafi. Both are excellent. I actually had a Kfir fly over me twice last week out on the beach in Fort Morgan, Alabama. It was trackable online and the tail number came back to an adversary/threat contractor. They had a couple of Hunters operating in our area too.

  6. Nice pair. Excellent work Rafi.

  7. Another great pair of builds, Rafi

  8. Your construction method makes sense, Rafi, resulting in a wonderful pair of models.

  9. Looking back, I kind of wished I added the intakes first on my Kinetic Kfir. Next Mirage, I will have to do that.

    Very sharp Kfir.

  10. Rafi, Really nice work, Your paint work is excellent, making for a very realistic model.

  11. Gorgeous Kfir/. Nice work on a tough build!

    Steve,
