Sri Lankan AF Kfirs

First time poster here!

Does the SLAF operate Kfir C-2s or C-7s?
All references state C-2s(including AFM), however Janes says they are C-7. I have to go with Janes on this because SLAF Kfirs have:
– C-7 intake pylons
– C-7 ejector seats (MB IL10P)
– C-7 nose bulges!
– C-7 chaff dispensers

Not sure if these are modernisations to C-2 that previous customers (Latin American) did not receive or indeed C-7s. I understand IDAF C-7s can carry laser guided munitions, where as i don’t beleive SLAF ones can, although they have an advanced bomb release system, apparently!
Any other differences between C-2s and C-7s?

Also does anyone know what weapons SLAF Kfirs carry? I have only found a single pic of an armed kfir, and that was a TC.2(two seat trainer)with a pair of MK.82s on the intake pylons.

Hope someone out there can help!

PS. The reason i ask is im building a 1/72 SLAF Kfir model.
