Burt Gustafson found the Italeri 1/48 Kfir to be a bit of a struggle, but once complete, it is an impressive model.

Hi Burt

Nice job on a kit that put up a real struggle! Although you write that it wasn't fun to build, looking back at it, I hope that increases the sense of achievement.

Keep 'em coming and all the best

Burt,
A very nicely built Kfir C1/C2 from the old Italeri kit, which is a re-box of the even older, and not very accurate ESCI kit from the 1970s. Looking at your pictures, you did one heck of a job.

Just one minor issue is that your semi gloss finish has the tires too shiny.
