1/72 Italeri Kfir C7

by Jojo Añonuevo

--------------------

 

My Kfir was built-out-of-the box except for a few items that I took out of the spares box. I wanted a heavily armed aircraft so I loaded it up with a 8 x Mk.82s, LAU-10s and Python 3 AAMs. I am not sure if this configuration is real but it makes a slender jet like the Kfir look menacing.
The Italeri kit does not give a number 3 and number 5 pylon so I took a pylon from my spares box that looks the similar from the few reference pictures that are available.  The Mk. 82s, MER and LAU-10 are from the Hasegawa Weapons Set, while the Python was fabricated out of a Sidewinder missile. The model sat for weeks in the display cabinet while I researched what the Python 3 Missile looked like.
I would like to thank my friends at IPMS Philippines Bert Anido Chapter for giving me the confidence to step out of my model display cabinet.
Happy Modeling
