	The Kfir went through four distinct models:

	1. C-1. J79 engine, more fuel, many updated subsystems, new avionics
	   fit (Israeli), different nose, better landing gear.

	2. C2. Engine as above, updated avionics, canards, nose strakes.

	3. TC2. As above, two seater for training and some ECM missions.

	4. TC7. Updated avionics and armament subsystems.

	By the by, the Kfir is NOT based on the Mirage IIICJ, but on the
Mirage 5, the plans for which were contributed by an engineer of a Swiss
aero. firm.
