like your approach and the results. I am surprised that you had fit issues. I thought, that this is a great kit. It is not?

Michael unfortunately the fit was very bad. what you mention might be AMK's 48th scale Kfir instead, dunno, didn't build that one and i'd say this will be my one and only AMK.
not worth the effort imho.

Hi Murad, thanx for elaborating. I was refering to the scale1:72 AMK kit indeed. I have seen the vergin parts of the kit in the stash of a friend and with the lovely details it has I expected it to go together nicely. In case I should go for it anyway, I am at least warned.

Guys thanks a lot for all your comments, much appreciated. 🙂
@Michael, not only the fit is an issue, decals are terrible as well. they go down but don't wanna move nor do they accept any decal sols... i am glad i'm doing the atac one for it has just a couple of decals. also the loadout leaves much to be desired but that's another subject altogether.
as for the kit itself, it's the recent trend of this past decade:
kits look wonderful in the box,
they have nice crisp details,
very interesting subjects,
eye candy decal options,
fancy painting schemes halfassed by certain spanish companies,
and what not also asking a premium price as usual.
reality is all those nice and crisp details go victim to stupid engineering decisions and subpar tooling resulting in fit issues.
after filling and sanding you end up with a lump of plastic with the details of a heller or pm, but for 10 times the price.
don't get me wrong, i've got nothing against heller etc. they all have a place, and most importantly they themselves DO know their place and name their price accordingly.
but these stupid companies popping left and right outta china and hk such as kh, kinetic, amk, panda, amusing, bronco... my blacklist do go on - it's not restricted to these companies entirely.
man, i stay away.
anybody who doesn't like the build stage, or values their time effort and money should too.
cheers.

I can understand your frustration having had similar experiences in the past.
I'm very picky about what brands I purchase now, and even then I still look for reviews if available.

Despite the issues you encountered, that's an awesome result. Great job on the camouflage scheme as well. 👍

Top result in spite of the poor kit! Excellent paint work so close to the original!
