Italeri 1397S F-21A Lion/Kfir C.1 1/72 Scale Aircraft Kit  [IT-1397S]

Compact 1/72 Kfir C.1 F-21A Lion Summary

The Italeri 1397S 1/72 F-21A Lion/Kfir C.1 kit renders the silhouette and operational role of this adaptable Israeli fighter in miniature. Developed by Israel Aircraft Industries from the Dassault Mirage III/5 platform, the Kfir was upgraded with Israeli avionics and the General Electric J79 turbojet, giving it notable thrust and handling for both air-to-air and strike tasks. The aircraft was built around two 30 mm guns and could be outfitted with a range of missiles and bombs.

In the early 1980s the US Navy and Marine Corps operated leased Kfirs under the F-21A Lion designation for dissimilar air combat training. This Italeri release nods to that era and includes a super decal sheet with three marking choices, making it well suited to builders who enjoy military aviation subjects.
