Shafrir 2 was an air-to-air missile developed by the Israeli defense industry in the 1960s. Introduced into service at the end of the 1960s, it was widely used by the Israeli Air Force, particularly during the Yom Kippur War (1973). In this conflict, Shafrir 2 achieved many spectacular combat successes, earning a reputation as an effective weapon against enemy fighters. These missiles were mounted on Israeli Mirage III, Nesher, and Kfir aircraft, as well as on exported versions of these planes.

The presented set includes two complete missiles, replicated with attention to every detail while maintaining the correct proportions according to real missile documentation. The presence of photo-etched details allows for master-level finishing, and the included decals enable faithful reproduction of operational markings.

Thanks to its low difficulty and clear instructions, the set is perfect both as an introduction to resin parts and as a high-class detail upgrade for advanced hobbyists.
