This is one of the first plane
kits I've build since I was a kid, the last few years I was working on model
trains, but, I wanted to start with planes again, so I decided to choose a
pretty easy one. It's build almost straight out of the box, and I've used the
revell decals that we're included. The kit itself is very easy it has not much
parts, and is very easy to build. There are no wheel bay details, and there is
no jet engine. I've used a Aeroclub noseleg, which has more details then the
original noseleg, same for the ejection seat. after it was build, painted and
all decals were on it, I've finished it with a clear coat to protect the decals.

Since I'm collecting planes
that have flown with the Royal Dutch Air Force (KLu), Marine Air Force (MLD) and
Royal Dutch East Indian Air Force (KNIL), the version to be build was already
clear to me, the P-231. This plane belonged to the 314 Squadron bassed on
Eindhoven Airbase between 1956-1970, after that it was replaced by the NF-5.
This was a short and
simple review from this kit, I hope to add more galleries in the near future
with interesting Dutch planes!
