Nice start👍. Looking forward to your build. I´am curious to see the pros and cons of the kit.

I didn't dare to cut main weels bays, I just swore loudly at Trumpeter)
And there are some other remakes need to be done to make "A' from this model...

Many thanks , mates 😉
For those who wish to assemble this model, it will be necessary to plan a little surgery on the main landing gear bays.
Other than that, I will say that the kit is better than Italeri or Fujimi but that's just my opinion. The level of detail is much higher than the other two

Jaw dropping detailing -as usally! All looks so easy and still perfectly clean and we all know how hard this is (especially in 72) - great job!

Many thanks,
For the moment, I don't find any difficulty in building this kit.
I only used putty in the air intakes, the fitting is quite good

Thanks Alek 😉
Dearest readers,
For those who would like to build this model but are not happy about having to open the gear hatches, you should know that these famous hatches can be closed on the ground. Yesterday, I found a photo which attests to the thing in the book "lock on" by Verlinden. These hatches are closed manually by the ground mechanics during a prolonged stop of the plane, a sort of storage, this avoids FOD. Of course, this is very rare, but nevertheless it is possible. Also, it's up to you 😉

A tadpole I can see. But at least it's not a FROG or you would have your work cut out for you. 😉

Beautiful work so far, especially love the paint scheme with tan nose - that's what I'd like to build as well. I found some pictures with the "NE" on tail in the same paint scheme, so hope to avoid aftermarket decals. Just got the same kit, so have to follow this thread 🙂
Is the "Hobbyboss" in the album title a joke or a mistake?

Many thanks, mates 😉
Trumpeter's decals are very crude, especially the lettering. The roundels are all the same size while in reality the wing roundels are larger than those on the fuselage. If you can, get the KA-6D intruder decals from Italeri which are printed by Cartograf.

Welcome mates! No new pictures yet but I managed to work on the pre shading, so the actual paiting can begin soon.
To, hopefully, save me some trouble I will check some colour conversion tables and compare which I need for this tank and the Edelweiss.
As I intend to use my Tamiya paints instead of buying the ones in the guide I maybe have to eyeball the colours. So even if the colours are not completely accurate I want at least both tanks to look the same, if I am supposed to use the same blue on both, for example.
There are lighting kits for both tanks but I will simply paint the radiator style "exhausts" of their engines as the machines in the world of Valkyria Chronicles do not run on petrol or diesel but on a substance called "ragnite" instead. That is also one of the reasons there are no exhaust pipes on the tanks. Instead the "radiators" are molded in clear plastic, which I will paint in clear blue.
I am also not sure yet how much I will weather both tanks, probably only some light to medium chipping and a low amount of dust, dirt and splatters.

Hello Christian,
Your FLD looks really good. Love the color you chose.
I built the chassis over 25 years ago before putting the kit back in the box and storing it until couple of weeks ago when I started working on it again. I will try to add photos once I had some bench time and figure out how Scalemates works...

To light up the engines, you will need to drill out the square areas around the exhaust.

Hi Michael! I bought the LEDs from Amazon and strung them together on my own. I used a total of 6 parallel circuits with each one drawing about 9V.
I used a rechargeable 9V from Amazon - EBL USB Rechargeable 9V Lithium Batteries - 5400mWh Long Lasting LI-ion Batteries with Micro Charging Cable - and ran a Micro-USB extender to the top of the cargo bay so I can seal the kit, and recharge it later. Having put in close to 40 hours on this kit, I wanted the lighting to last. 😜

Thanks Harald, Nark Robin and DerMattes. The oil weathering just dried and I'm closing it up with the final clear coat. Will post the final shots when I can handle it again without leaving and fingerprints! 😜

Looking really good Capt. 🫡. I had exactly the same issues with the landing gear.... the 'strut' just didn't want to glue and ended up snapping, I pushed a pin up through it to try and strengthen it but it's still really wonky. Tempted to have a go at the AMT kit to see if that's any better?
17 April, 17:08
![](/profiles/img/69735-368-s.jpg)
Lovely stuff. The innards look fantastic with the black basing. Loving the mix of alloys to the exterior and the heat wear on re entry is inspired and something I completely missed that on mine.

Although not a fan of Sci-Fi, I have to admire your metallics! Great job!
18 April, 10:48
![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
Thanks everyone! I learned a LOT from everyone posting their builds on these forums - so I'll be passing the credits to everyone.
@Gareth - from what I can see, the AMT looks lacking on the interior details, but the engines are made to be lit up in flight mode. Didn't see a build with the landing struts.
@Gary - the idea of the re-entry staining came to me when I just happened to see the burnt metallic paint on the rack! I wouldn't have thought of it otherwise. 🤔
@Finn - thank you! But I have a long ways to go to your mad diorama skills!
@Giannis - I had some challenges with the metallics - the Xtreme Titanium looked too "Plastic" to me, so I had to apply a thinned down Polished aluminum to make it shine better.
One thing I forgot to mention is the need to sand down the engine nacelles - some spots were really rough / pebbly - so sanding it down prior to laying down the metallics will save you pain and suffering later 😀

![](/profiles/img/121752-978-s.jpg)
Stick a fork in it, this one's done. I'll update this later when I get around to building a base for it with some figures. This was a decent kit, but with a little more thought and effort, Revell could have made this a really cracking kit. I would definitely recommend this kit, but you will need a lot of patience when tackling the landing gears and ramps - on top of the numerous kit defects, but hey, if I can build it, anyone can! 😀

Thanks John's, Robin and Rob (esp the This is the Way!)
I had to ruin a nice F-104 to figure out how to do the metallics just right! 😜

Merci beaucoup Baptist! I just bought the LEDs from Amazon and strung them together. I used a rechargeable 9V battery from Amazon - amazon.com/EBL-USB-R..teries/dp/B086GTFGPP - This way, I can recharge the battery as needed.
Thank you for your kind words, Torsten! I love your interesting choices in Sci-Fi builds 😀

Oh, I see a printed barrell. Will this be another GuP project or do you plan to make a historic BT-42?
3 April, 07:48

Thanks. I'm going to do it for GuP, but I don't even have decals for it yet😬. So, the end result will not be soon.

Nice work on the roadwheels. 👍 Did you manage to get the decals in the meantime? A while ago I could find an abundance of them on eBay for example but now it seems much harder to get GuP or Ace Combat decals.

Done lots of filling and sanding to get the wing and the fuselage of the first Kfir to fit. Started rescribing and getting the second on to the same state.
15 February, 20:11
![](/profiles/img/34342-900-s.jpg)
I also got this kit (the Italeri one) when I was child, in the middle of the '90's. So it's an awful kit, but that time wasn't better. So, I'm curious for the result.
24 February, 10:10
![](/profiles/img/111789-903-s.jpg)
Welcome István! The Revell is just a rebox of the Italeri kit with nicer decals and a different instruction manual 😉
24 February, 14:29
![](/profiles/img/111505-470-s.jpg)
Nice start, I remember building this kit as a two tone grey Israeli bird a long time ago. Which scheme are you going with?
28 February, 15:54
![](/profiles/img/111789-903-s.jpg)
The Revell one has only decals for the camo scheme, so the Italeri one will be the grey one. Maybe I get my hands on the AMK kit before I get to the decals, then the Italeri will maybe get the Atac livery.
But first there will be some more sanding and filling the sink marks that are now visible. I also made some scribing mistakes, so this needs some putty as well.
28 February, 20:19
![](/profiles/img/111789-903-s.jpg)
Decided to go with the Atac camo with the Italeri Kfir. The Revell one already has the Isralei camo and decals on the undeside. Also I broke off the petot tube again. This time it stays off until the last moment.
31 March, 18:37
![](/profiles/img/111789-903-s.jpg)
Small update from the last couple of weeks: decals from the AMK kit for the Kfir 401 from Atac were applied, along with some from the Italerim kit itself. Also the landing gear was attached to both aircraft. Ready for final smaller paintjobs, weathering and some antennae and the landing gear bay doors.
26 May, 11:47
![](/profiles/img/111789-903-s.jpg)
Finished the first Kfir, built fromt he Revell box with the decals provided. As I was looking around the AMK kit for the Atac decals, I noticed, that the AMk kit provides way more "stuff" to hang under the wings. So i got the Special Hobby IAF set and used some pylons, bombs and additional fiel tanks. i also switched the missiles fromt he kit to 3d printed Sidewinders, should be AIM-9Bs.
I noticed, that when I glued the canopy to the fuselage with super glue, that the transparent part fogs up. When I wipe it with iso it gets clear again, but just for seconds. Any tips on that?
