Cool Vertical fin

The vertical fin is similar to the Mirage 3C. However, there is the addition of an intake at the base used for cooling with the J-79 engine. It is a distinguishing feature of all Kfirs.


Here is the frame

lastly, add the brake parachute housing and fairing. Same as the Mirage. I used a wood dowel for the rear dome and painted grey color.

Here is the assembly. Later on the small fairing for the rudder will be added.
