Bought this kit at a
model show a few years back and thought it would make a fun, quick build.
Built it
straight out of the box. Fit of the parts wasn't too bad (for a thirty year old
kit) with the worst being the forward wing to fuselage area and where the
speed brake assemblies attach to the rear fuselage.

Model was painted with
Model Master paints and clearcoated with Future before decaling.
Decals
went on without any problems, but they are so thin that the red paint on
the wings shows through the white on the national
insignias. Dullcoted the entire model after everything was dry.
Although this was a
fun OOB build, I'd love to see some resin/photoetch updates for this kit,or maybe
an entirely new kit ...hey, I can dream, can't I?
