Very good progress. Can't wait to see that camo scheme go on.

I have done the bottom light blue but am having trouble sourcing Acrylic colours for the top camoflage (I only use Revell Aqua colours normally). I have now decided to go with Vallejo Model Air as they seem to be the most accurate for Israeli colours.

Time is running short but I reckon I can get this done.

I have managed to get the airbrush working again and have shot the sand colour on:

I went with Vallejo Model Air in the end and on first usage they seem to be pretty good.

She is looking sweet Chip. I have only used Vallejo Model Air once & I was really impressed.

Please don't rush this just to meet the deadline. I am more than happy to give you an extension as I know everyone is busy this time of year.

First colour looks good. The top view photo shows off the terrific shape of the Kfir with its long nose and canards.

Managed to get the painting completed:

I am really pleased with the paint finish, however when trying to use klear before decaling it seems to repel it. :???: Must be something to do with the paint as the klear has gone on my Aston Martin painted in Revell paints with no problem. I just hope that the decals will go on OK, I may use some Airfix DecalFix just in case.

Decals have gone on without a hitch, it has now received a coat of matt varnish and once dry I will be fitting the undercarriage.

I will be away from the bench today but should be finished tomorrow.

This was a really nice kit to build, well detailed and well fitting (unlike some others).
