Italeri KFIR C.2 Combat Jet 1/72

Super Decal For 4 Versions

Kfir is an "all-time" multi-role fighter produced by Israel Aircraft Industries.

It was derived directly from the famous French fighter Dassault Mirage III / 5 which retains its aerodynamic layout.

Several improvements were implemented as the adoption of the powerful and reliable turbine engine with General Electric J79 afterburner, produced under license in Israel.

Even the avionics was drastically revised and improved.

Krif's development program was born to offer a more effective aircraft than the now-dated IAI Nesher.

The Kfir entered service in 1975 with the role of interceptor fighter.

Over time, subsequent changes were made to the original program.

The C7 version is characterized by an even more powerful engine, a new avionics and the ability to refuel in flight.

With the entry of the new F-15 Kfir changed operational profile and proved to be a robust and reliable attack aircraft on the ground.

Armed with two 30mm cannons he could carry a varied offensive load composed of missiles, bombs and rockets.
