I have just removed my Italeri C7 kfir from the stash to check the shape of the canopy against the mirage 3/5/50,and noticed it had completely the wrong canopy in it. Nowt I can do about it and nobody does Vacform ones either. Longest of long shots I know, but does anyone have a surplus canopy or even a dead built one that the canopy can be salvaged from please? I am in the U.K.
Cheers

If anyone has a full kit they are willing to part with I am also interested, as I want to build the recon version.

If I had the Italeri kit of the Kifur it would be yours, but I have only bought Hasegawa and AMK kits of the Kifur. Sorry  :-\

The Hasegawa one is a C2 isn't it? I have an AMK C7 awaiting decals, I have modified it into a C 10, but will be in Honduras service as will the recon Kfir.

Correct on both counts. I will have a look to see if I have any conversion sets with some of the kits I have, if I do would you like me to send you the canopy from a single seat kit ?

Alastair, thatwould be great. I couldn't find any conversion sets or vacform canopies for the Kfir anywhere, and their canopy is different to the mirage 5, I think.

The two-seat conversions that I have are by Scaleworks. You should be able to contact them through Facebook.

Of course yes. I do follow them, and completely forgot about them doing conversion kits. Cheers.

with a bit of modification to both the kfir fuselage and the canopy, all should be good. :thumbsup:
