Building Yoavs Kfir

[Erik Zwaan]

Good luck Chris! You have the parts already neatly mapped out in front of you so this must become a clean build .

Regards,
Erik

Thank you Erik. I could not keep my fingers still so i built the Ejection Seat.
The parts fit very good together. For the seat cushion I had to bend the seat sides a bit outward (about .5 mm) the the cushin fell into his place withoug any pressure.
I had great fun assembling the seat as no surprises were discovered and I hope you folks have as much fun watching the pics as I have to build the model.

Thank you Gary, Yoav and Erik.

Yoav if you are reading this: I thought over the canopy. Is it the same shape and size as on your Mirage which I want to build sometime too?
In that case I would make more canopies than one

[YOAVHOZMI]

yes chris, the 2 canopies are the same...good luck with them.

HI,

I have uploaded some undercarriage detail shots of a swiss Mirage III RS (should be the same) to the gallery.

If u change your mind and wanna scratch it or someone other will do.

Thank you for the infos Yoav and Freak (Grüße nach Hameln )
Today I built the exhaust. I added some step by step photos and the finished exhaust. I really like the solution Yoav did for the feathers. The folded edge really adds some 3D realistic touch.
I had to shorten the outer ring by approximately 1 mm to match the diameter. I did the same for the "feather ring" I glued the ring only to the front of the nozzle and the rear end I glued only the feather tips and folded them around.

I really like the outcome. The exhaust nozzle looks great!

Thank you folks,
today I fiddled around the cockpit. Only thing missing is the throttle stick. I think I will hunt for some pics and scratch one
