Wingman Model 1/48 Kfir RC 2
A model representing one of the late development of Kfir. Wingman Models issued three variants of the Kfir. The reconnaissance version of the Kfir is a challenging model due to the nature of the plastic mold, which is Kinetic's Kfir,
Nice work, Rafi. I never realized that a recce Kfir was offered out of the box. AML does several resin conversions for Israeli recce Mirage/Nesher/Kfir variants that I’ve been considering for some time now.
Thank you John.
Wingman Models had another training Kfir and early variant with the conversion. I believe that all are sold out long ago. I built also the training variant, which is much more difficult to build than this.
Excellent result out of this challenging kit, Rafi!
Never knew a recce Kfir existed, what a distinctively looking bird.
Congratulations!
Thank you Spiros!
Excellent build of a tough kit. I built the Wingman early Kfir and know exactly where the bad area is (intake seam/join right at the fuselage.)
Thank you Dan.
Windscreen, fuselage and wing halves are also problematic areas.
Very cool! Would have loved to have found a kit in 1/72. That "racheting" recee nose is very interesting.
Thank you Greg!
Hasegawa has a nice and simple Kfir kit in 1/72.
Superb work Rafi, really captures the look of the Kfir RC2
Thank you Ian.
Very nice build, Rafi @blackmopane
This variant of the Kfir is new to me, looks a bit odd with the extended nose.
Thank you John.
Looks great! A subject rarely covered! I've got an Atlas Cheetah R in my stash which was their update of a Mirage lll R2Z with a little help from IAI
Thank you Neil.
I also had my eye on the Cheetah. Yet, high prices and low returns in terms of kit quality chilled my desire.
