Scale overview and background

The Kfir C.2 was produced by Israel Aircraft Industries as an upgraded multirole derivative of the Mirage III/5. With the General Electric J79 engine and revised avionics, it represented a step up from the IAI Nesher. Debuting in 1975, the type worked in fighter roles before reallocating to strike duties as newer fighters were introduced.

The Italeri 1/72 kit recreates the Kfir C.2 silhouette for model builders. Included decals cover four different schemes so you can choose an authentic historic finish for your completed model.

Yes, the scale matches common 1/72 subjects, making it straightforward to include the Kfir in squadron or diorama groupings alongside contemporary aircraft.
Keep decals flat between sheets of wax or paper and store in a cool, dry place. Small parts are best kept in labelled containers or resealable bags to avoid loss.
Yes. Reference photos and walkaround shots help with accurate paint schemes and weathering. Aviation books and online archives are useful for matching markings and stencils.
