Charles, an engineer, built Hasegawa's 1/72 scale Kfir-C2 mostly out of the box, adding a scratchbuilt seat belt and harness as well as a nose probe made from a straight pin. Using Testors Model Master enamels, he airbrushed the Israeli camouflage as well as the triangular recognition markings on the wings and tail. Charles says, "I modeled this plane because I played a small part in designing it early in my career."
