This lion cub was abducted from the Paris zoo... the IAI Kfir ("Lion Cub") is an Israeli-built all-weather multirole combat aircraft based on the French Dassault Mirage 5, with Israeli avionics and an Israeli-built version of the General Electric J79 afterburning turbojet engine.

This build is an attempt at a reasonably convincing Kfir which, as the French would say, is a passe-partout; in Israeli livery it may be a Kfir, but with some tweaks it can just as easily be passed off as an Atlas Cheetah –or yes, even as a Mirage.

Controls, other than the standard stuff;

• AG1 afterburner
• AG2 nose wheel steering lock
• AG3 lights
• AG4 air brakes
• AG5 drag chute
• AG6 jettison all ground-attack stores

The plane’s a bit heavy with its CAS-loadout; for air-to-air combat, change out the bombs for AAM’s or simply hit AG6 after takeoff to drop the excess baggage.
