Last part of the Adversary schemes ...for now
Back on 26th April 1989 I arranged myself a trip around MCAS Yuma specifically to photograph the end of the Kfir in US military service , VMFT-401 could not have been more helpful , they even said I could have one as they didnt need them any more
Here are the results if interested https://pbase.com/usnavypatchman/yuma
Next thing was to make them , there were 4 schemes present that they used , I had already made a USN F-21A of VF-43 in the 3 tone "ghost" scheme , so decided on the other 3 , but had to wait a while , as the ESCI F-21A kit was not all that accurate as I found out when I made the VF-43 one
.Isracast came out with a conversion for the ESCI/Italeri Mirage IIIE and Isradecal a sheet for VMFT-401
