I really love this camo scheme in a Cup of Ice cream. Hazelnut, pistacchios and cookie cream taste great together
Another great model, David. It's refreshing to see someone mix paints these days instead of running out and buying the exact color from someones range. Great save on the Star of David decals too! I've been building models over 50 years now, and I learn something new with each one of your videos. Thanks!
Thank you. It is very modern this day buy tons of products for painting. I am a little bit frustrated because people think that you must be a millionaire. I must do something with this. I read a lot of comments "I would like to start with plastic models, but it is very expensive." . I think this is not good. I started in my 15 years, and I needed only a few colors, pencil, brush and water.
Damn you Plasmo! You just ruined my life! 15 years without building any models and now I find myself planning which stores I need to go to to get different materials (and what airbrush!!) to start building again. (Last Series Tiger I; Michael Wittman! Gotta get that zimmerit right! I used to have a Leningrad model first version in Panzer Grey; my best). Anyway damn you to hell sir, You bloody genius! Nice to see your start as a model maker as it gives us other mortals some hope!!
yeah this was me this week
Lol. I started seeing these vids on the TH-cam, and I felt the need to get back into modeling. I got myself a 1:48 F15C kit I am working on now. Already spent like an hour modding the base kit's basic plastic engines into something with a little more detail. DAMN YOU Plasmo, and Max Afterburner too!
It's funny how that happens! I started again just over a year ago. I've spent £100's on paint, airbrush, tools, kits etc and haven't actually finished one yet :D
Yep....me too
Watching you make a model is almost like watching an artisanal luthier building a classical music instrument. Thank you for sharing your techniques, skills and art.
The model already looks good, but when you apply washes and shading it really stands out! Especially on this one. Good job. :)
Your painting techniques are fantastic, watching you, Owen, Andy, and a few others has got me hooked on making models, thanks for all the excellent tutorials and builds you share. Bravo Sir
I’ve seen this a few times since it’s been published, but I want to say that I like your idea of marking all of the decals you used with a marker on the scheme sheet. I’m gonna steal that, lol.
You are spoiling us with content!
The overall videos are getting better and better everytime, I started with a paintbrush just the same and now have shalves full of kits. Great video man!
Great job, very well done indeed. One to be very proud of. You have come a long way since that first version, which was also very good by the way!!
Many thanks for sharing with us.
Have fun with your next project,
Joe
This is a beautiful build of an awesome aircraft! Your skills have certainly advanced over time. I'm amazed by the quality of your videos and how quickly you create them.
Awesome build as usual, your work is incredible. Thank you for the inspiration to try and learn new skills.
I love the Kfir! More it looks than it's performance... And i love your work! Cheers from Argentina!
Your model kit from 10 years ago is really good and that was of course 10 years ago. Now your the god of model kits
Stunning work David! You amaze me how you can do first rate work on any subject matter you take on

We can see easily the difference between your "old" and "new" model.
I like your method ! Good job !

Greetings from Brazil! Great job (like all builds you do)!
Great work! Well done.
Great work and presentation!
You build so fast😮 awesome job as always👏
Your videos also give me motivated to start on my models. I'm working on a royal air force Knat 1/72.
Seth I've got one of those somewhere, got it in aldi 😂
As a one that see a kfir every day (live in israel next to an airbase) you did a great job!
Wow!!!
I thought they were in museums by now, as they took them out of service more than 20 years ago. What are they using it for? Training? Or is it just for historical display?
@@Vermiliontea There are a few countries that still use the Kfir. Colombia, for example.
The Israelis didn't throw them away. They stored them and have refurbished them to resell. The airframe is probably good for 8,000-12,000 hours with regeneration/rebuilds.
One of the private companies that provides DACT services for the US military also operates a number of Kfirs.
At least twice, the US military (US Marine Corps) has operated the Kfir as a DACT plane and they even have one in a museum in the US. They called it the F-21 for accounting purposes in the US. They used the Kfir mainly as a MiG-23 simulator and the fact that it's powered by a GE J79 engine was a plus. The same engine was used in the F-4 and F-104 and there are still some mechanics who have experience with the J79 working in private industry and the military reserves.
Of course, the GE J79 engine was also what prevented Israel from selling the Kfir to a few countries interested in the plane, one of them being South Africa during the apartheid era. The US government wouldn't allow the plane to be sold because of the engine; there's a sanction on the engine for countries for whome the US is at odds with (Iran currently, South Africa in the past). Of course, over 10,000 GE J79's were manufactured and there were tons of spare parts made for the 5,000+ F-4 Phantoms and 2,000+ F-104 Starfighters that were build. There has of course been black market sales of spares and even engine cores but the thing is those parts can't be guaranteed to be flight-rated or even bootleg. I would NOT want to be flying in a country's air force where it could not be guaranteed that the aircraft engines were not using knock-off parts.
Israel didn't want to buck the sanction so offered an alternative upgrade for the existing fleet of Mirage III's South Africa had. With aerodynamic modifications and rebuilds with new avionics based off the Kfir, those M-III's became Cheetahs. They were retired by the mid-2000s and replaced by the Saab JAS 39 Gripen. The Gripen is powered by a GE F404 turbofan so you know US relations with South Africa are better now or they wouldn't be flying that plane with a much more advanced engine than the J79. The F404, by the way, IS the direct replacement for the J79. It's nearly half the weigh of the J79, much better fuel economy, a simpler engine to support, and has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio.
Stunning work looks awesome mate
Great build, the colors are very nice 👍👍
I love to see u do a A-10
Excellent. Looks menacing. And very very nice work
A apresentação dos dois aviões, deu-nos a oportunidade de apreciar a tua evolução como modelista! Muitos parabéns ! ;) / The presentation of the two planes gave us the opportunity to appreciate your evolution as a modeller! Congratulations ! ;)
`Star of David` ;-) Excellent! And that Italeri Kfir in the beginning of the video - brings back memories...
Excellent ! I'm learning a lot from your videos.
Awesome as always!
Great video and model making skills!
Amazing as always
Awesome as usual.
Hi David, Your Model work is very good , excellent and I see by your airbrush and tools , You are using good stuff which gives good results, A suggestion for small cockpit details , buttons switches etc , try using a toothpick , wooden type or better the bamboo type, You can sand them to a fine tip and just touch the paint of choice and apply a dot of paint to the area , it leaves a nice round dot but before applying the first amount of paint just touch the toothpick with paint on it on a paper towel just to remove excess paint. I have been modelling for the last 43 years and the last sixteen years I have struggled with clear coats until I watched your TH-cam video's and I now use the same clear coat as you and apply it exactly as you do and wow it's great !.... You have solved my clear coat problems , Many thanks Rob.
Bang tidy piece of kit! Nice to see something interesting 😊
Absolutely amazing no words very outstanding
Stunning work as always, You're insane :)
Holy crap smigol! Did not expect to find you here!
I'm also building models so it's nice to take a look how it's done properly :D
Smigol Time! just got my hand on an airbrush after using paint brush for a year or so :P now I'm quitting war thunder to develop this hobby even more
Im looking for an airbrush but I simply have not much time for making models :/ but I have quitted WT anyway xd
Perfect job David...
my favourite youtube modeller! keep up the good work
Top quality as usual. Having to paint the roundels ended up improving the result.
Beautiful Israeli camo . suits the Kfir . I like your method of using the olive brown on panel lines and then drybrushing it away , more subtle on lighter camo colours . Wales UK.
Amazing, as always.
I think this model deserves a longer vid, explaining also how to paint the front gear bay, etc.
Very good work!
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks
I am going to thumps up this video right from the start. No need to wait to the end because I know it is going to be wicked cool with some mad skills.
Great work!
I love this airplane, i love ur work !!!!
Looks fantastic mate! Just supported you on patreon!
Awesome job men!!!!!
Как всегда отличная работа!

Great work David.😃
Your the best model maker ever ;)

Thanks for this video☝ I'm working on the same model right now! Your video is the best example for my building ☝☝☝😎
Excellent work as always :D
I've built the 1/48 version of this kit and the 1/72 kit parts looks almost as detailed, I think I have to build the 1/72 too :P
