Thanks Michel, it's been said that the Kinetic should be the one to have. I can't compare that.

Fuselage and other parts together. Next up, filling and sanding. It's needed!

@Heico
A modeler did a comparison on ARC between the 2.
The cockpit dimensions and seat are very different.

Wings on. Had quit some work filling and sanding. I must say im a bit dissapointed with that for such a new kit.

I only need to mask the canopy and then it's ready for paint.

Damn, Heico, i missed this build! Lovely Kfir! Do you like the kit? Any issues or flaws?

Hi Holger,
It has some weakpoints yes. Especially the airintakes i found a weak point. The wing also didnt fit 100% But the canopy for instance fits really well!

Like the SAAF Cheetah D with her Long Nose, the Kfir is one of my favorite Versions of the beautiful Mirage family.
Is there a extra model engine inside the Kinetic kit ???

I dont understand your question exactly, but there is an engine in the kit. But is one piece. You can see it from the back ( standing up ) in one of the pictures.

All decals on now. Next up another layer of gloss and then it's time for weathering!

Tones are looking very nice Heico! How's the kit itself btw - i've heard a lot of mixed opinions about Kinetic kits and i'm hesitating to buy one of these.

Thanks Murad, the kit itself is fairly nice. It has some good points and some bad points. I can't compare to the Avantgarde but if you want a Kfir this probably is the one to go for. Lot's of weapon options. But be sure not to pay too much, cause at some places it's really overpriced for what you get😉
