Don't worry about inserting the cockpit tub. It is flexible and can be inserted into the location.

Smile Cockpit

The cockpit tub is very flexible and can be easily inserted to the fuselage cut out and glued to the folded sides.

Note the small cut for the gear bay.

You can then add the instrument panel.

and a bottom look of the nose section

Looking great. As usual, you provide great photos of the build and explanations of the steps.

Thank you!

Cool Exhaust

The main external difference with the Kfir vs. the Mirage is the engine. As such, here is the General Electric J-79 engine exhaust nozzle ( common to the F-4 Phantom kit ).

Yoav's usual method is shown

Kfir C7- Yaron repaint of Yoav Kfir C2-img_6122.jpgKfir C7- Yaron repaint of Yoav Kfir C2-img_6123.jpg

and the construction disc in place to keep it round. It will be removed later on.
Incorporate to the aft fuselage section:

Smile Aft fuselage

Conventional design using shaped conical sections.

Continue in a forward direction starting at the very back ( engine exhaust ).

add small piece of card at the inside of belly to stiffen the attachment to the wing later on
