After Mirage III, I decided to build a derivate of it in form of IA Kfir. This is earlier AMK kit with some shortcomings but overall, I was quite pleased with the build quality. Especially decals were of high quality and easy to handle.

I managed to keep all protruding air scoops intact but broke pitot tube no fewer than three (!) times before completing the kit.

Very beautiful!

Another fast project, just 39 days from start to finish. All-metal Mirage IIIC, somewhat simplish kit from Hobbyboss. Easy to build but I am not overly happy with instructions (some decals weren't mentioned, inside painting instructions were lacking and details are mediocre at some places).

For the first time, I experimented with Mr Surfacer and it did help with small scratches but AK's Xtreme Metal paints were still susceptible to lifting with masking tape (ladder side canopy being worst example of this). Also, this was first kit where I needed to remove seam from canopy and that went well with new polishing sticks and stuff.

Overall, I am pretty happy with the result but I wouldn't recommend the kit. It's cheap but...

Another tank completed although I plan to add figures and create some sort of an diorama to go with it (plans plans, I know, haven't yet finished the one for 6-rad either). Didn't want to weather this too much as it's a desert scheme. Loved how detailed the kit is and how well most parts fit but rubber tracks don't sit so well.

Pictures are on the light side, perhaps over-exposed which I didn't catch while taking those.

Great build!
