1:72 Aggressor Camouflage Paint Masks For ATAC F-21/IAI Kfir C2

The contract adversary in 1:72

The pair of sheets of thin self-adhesive tape carries the camouflage pattern worn by Kfirs in the colors of an American provider of training services. Unlike the set in the larger scale, here the focus is on the camouflage alone - the small markings are left to decals or to a separate set of stencils.

From Israeli service to civilian operation

The Kfir C.2 machines served out their time in the Israeli Air Force and after withdrawal found a second life with a private operator, which uses them to provide pilot training against a dissimilar adversary. The machines kept their original airframe with canards and the J79 engine, but they were given a civil registration and a coloring they would never have worn in regular military service.

A small scale, a different approach

In 1:72 the camouflage fields are so small that the transitions easily merge. Hold the airbrush closer to the surface and lower the pressure, as otherwise the sharp edges will turn into a gray mush. Before applying, make sure the base shade is fully cured; on small areas the layers follow one another quickly and the finish has no time to cure.

Who the set suits

• Collectors of small scales who build modern combat aircraft
• Anyone interested in unconventional colorings outside regular military service
• Modelers who want to spray camouflage with a sharp division
• Builders who prefer to deal with the markings separately from the camouflage

Paints and the airframe of the aircraft are not part of the delivery.
