Kinetic 48053 1/48 F-21 IAI Kfir C1/USMC F-21A Lion

Model Aircraft Kit

Build a unique chapter in modern fighter aviation with this highly detailed 1/48 scale F-21 IAI Kfir C1/USMC F-21A Lion model kit from Kinetic. Developed by Israel Aircraft Industries, the Kfir was created as an advanced evolution of the Mirage 5 design, incorporating Israeli avionics and powered by the American J79 engine. The aircraft entered service with the Israeli Air Force in the 1970s and later found international operators, becoming known for its strong performance in air combat and strike missions. The United States Marine Corps operated leased F-21A Lion aircraft in the 1980s as adversary trainers, providing realistic high-performance threat simulation for naval aviators preparing for air combat. This kit captures the distinctive canard-equipped Kfir design and includes options for both Israeli Kfir C1 and USMC F-21A configurations, featuring finely engraved surface detail, detailed cockpit, accurate landing gear, external fuel tanks, weapons options, and high-quality decals for authentic markings.
