This is my representation of the modernized AMX A-1B. This kit is pretty well made and the construction was very easy. This kit was painted with model master green and white colors. The grey, I made with my own mix of oils. This kit comes with photoetched seat belts and rubber tires. The tires really add to the overall look of the kit. This was my second build of the plane. I built the monoplace and got so excited with the kit that I decided to build the pair. Both builds were very enjoyable.

As a matter of habit I include some history of the plane: The AMX is a ground-attack aircraft jointly developed by Brazil and Italy. The AMX is designated A-11 Ghibli by the Italian Air Force and A-1 by the Brazilian Air Force. The Italian name, "Ghibli", is taken from the hot dry wind of the Libyan desert.
