  Ecuador Independence Day 2005 

 

This conversion based on the 1/72 Italeri kit.  The main differences concern the Kfir- C2 are basically nose, refuelling probe, and electronic equipment.  For this kit, the nose corresponds to a part of a Hasegawa F-18 fuel tank with a lot of putty and sandpapering work to come up with the correct proportions according to all the photographic material I have.

The refuelling probe was obtained and adapted from F-5A italeri kit.  The colors are typical low visibility tones Light Ghost Gray and Dark Ghost Gray.   Aztec Decals of excellent registry and quality were used.

This model represents the FAE 915 which I had the opportunity to photograph at the Base recently arrived from his paint Job in 2001, so no weathering was needed.
