Italeri 1408 – Kfir C.2 IAF Israel – 1:72 Scale Kit

The Kfir is an all-weather multi-role combat aircraft produced by Israel. It was mainly based on the French Dassault Mirage III / 5 airframe, but it adopted several improvements such as the Israeli-built version of the powerful and reliable J79 turbojet engine or a complete new set of avionic equipment. Kfir originated to develop a more effective version of the IAI Nesher. The Kfir entered in service in 1975 and was assigned to fighter squadrons. During the time, some updated versions came out such as the Kfir C7 characterized by a powerful engine, better avionics and in-flight refueling capability. However, with the introduction of the new F-15, the reliable and robust Kfir changed its main role and it was used to perform strike missions. It is armed with two 30 mm. guns, and it can load several types of missiles, bombs and rocket launchers.
