I made a start of this kit this week. There's nothing particularly exciting about it. The fit is poor and will need a bit of work. I plan to mount it on a stand in flight.![]() IMG_1387 by harrison-green, on Flickr ![]() IMG_1388 by harrison-green, on Flickr ![]() IMG_1389 by harrison-green, on Flickr ![]() IMG_1390 by harrison-green, on Flickr ![]() IMG_1391 by harrison-green, on Flickr ![]() IMG_1392 by harrison-green, on Flickr |

Looks very reminiscent to me of the old Aurora kits, same diarrhea colour plastic and instruction sheet style |

Think you might struggle with those decals Steve. Noticed the red in one eye seems missing and the star n bar look very old but I`ll be looking forward to the next update. |

Good to see the older kits being built. As said above I think the decals might challenge! Si. |

Is that because I've touched it?

Lovely old Monogram kit. TBH, I've not had dealings with them in 1/72, sticking to 1/48, but always found them surprisingly good on the whole. That being said, those decals are definately off...the star is too small and I'd say the "bulge" along the bottom of the fuselage is possibly too big, if you want to count rivets.... |
