Looks alot like the Kfirs I used to work on a...ahem...few...years ago.
Just missing the canards just abaft the intakes.
Ours were NEVER that shiny, though. I hate to think of the poor plane captains out in 110° F temps in Yuma, with their bottles or Mother's aluminum polish and rags, shining, sweating, swearing...
Even under a shelter, that would be miserable.
I dated a female plane captain for a while. She didn't like to wear bra's, didn't need to really, and was the only woman I've ever seen whose nipples sweated...
Good times in '401!
With the exception of the first couple of 'Miracles' the RAAF painted their fleet with an aluminised dope, made for a very smooth finish.
Later the ubiquitous camouflage finish replaced the silver.
'Sweaty Nipples!'
I'd like to have seen those.
