IAI Kfir (Hebrew for "Lion Cub") is an Israeli supersonic multi-role fighter developed and produced by Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI). The aircraft was created in the 1970s based on the French Mirage 5, following experiences from the Yom Kippur War, with the aim of achieving independence for the Israeli Air Force in developing its own weaponry. The Kfir has served with the Israeli Air Force since 1975 and has been used both in combat missions (including operations in southern Lebanon) and as a training and export platform for Colombia, Ecuador, and Sri Lanka. The Kfir’s period of active use includes primarily the Cold War and modern times.

The Master AM-48-077 set is made of the highest quality brass – the use of metal guarantees many years of durability, resistance to mechanical damage, and a much greater realism than standard plastic parts. Metal details ensure sharp edges and faithful replication, giving your model an exceptionally authentic look in a diorama or collection. For assembling the accessories, it is recommended to use cyanoacrylate (CA) glue and to drill mounting holes in the plastic parts of the model.

The set is recommended both for experienced modelers and intermediate hobbyists who want to add exceptional details to their models and take their realism to the next level. It enhances both professional replicas and collector’s display models. Assembly difficulty rating: 2/5 – simple assembly requiring only minimal experience with metal details.

By choosing Master AM-48-077, you are investing in top-quality model accessories that will emphasize the uniqueness of your IAI Kfir 1/48 model.
