Sounds like a plan! 

Also, now I'm wondering what an F-5 fuselage with Mirage 2000 delta wings would look like.  :angel: :lol:

It works - even though mine (based on the X-29) has hybrid wings, created from MiG-21 inner and F-4 outer wings:


1:72 Northrop Grumman-IAI F-24A "Tigerhawk" (a.k.a. "נמר / Namer"), s/n 14-0183 of 318th FIS, United States Air force (USAF); McChord AFB, Tacoma (WA); 2014 (whif/kitbashing/tribute work)

Nah, you're having us on Thomas, that's not a Whiff, it's RW. I'm sure it's an Italeri kit.  ;D ;)

It's blooming WONDERFUL nonetheless.  :thumbsup:

Today arrived an Italeri IAI Kfir C7 I ordered, from an online store. Cheaper than ebay's offererings and also the only other one I found was on Heratage's second hand page, as they wanted £6 postage!! Italeri need their a***s kicking with this kit as it is identical to the C2, it only has the 2 wing pylons and a centre line fuel tank. The Hasegawa, C2 has all 4 wing pylons and a centre pylon. Looks like I am going to have to scratch build the other 6 pylons for this one too  :banghead:.

You don't want that old stuff, you should have a snoot for the new kit of the Kfir :-

A pair of the new Amodel CMC Leopard mini biz jet arrived today.  :thumbsup:
One of the kits is the same bird that now resides at the Midland Air Museum. So some thing of a local interest for me  ;D
I always hope for the best.

Oooh, a LOVELY little aircraft. If ever I won a zillion quid I'd have had one of them.  ;D

A must for me, even in 1/72 scale.

It still won't work with IE11, but I managed to order one of those lovely Leopards using Chrome!

Why can't it just WORK?  :banghead:

Received today from a very well known on-line auction site

1 x 1/72 Hasegawa Kfir C2 but I'm not sure which version this will end up as due to ordering a couple of those very nice AMK Kfir C2/C7's yesterday but as I ordered decals as well it may be one of the Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) aircraft
