I saw this old kit at a hobby store and it looked fun ot build. I want to make it a fast project to work on.
The build was fast and I tested some new thinks on the stand I made.
Unfortunaly this kit is very old so some problems did occure during this build.
Problems:
- Very bad decals
The scheme options are very nice but the decals crack easily and they are translucent. some are also to big.
- no cockpit floor and gear bay
This sound like something that is common with these old kit but I ruined my end result because of this. I added the canopy before painting but that resulted I paint getting stuck on the inside of the canopy because the spray for the airbrush can hit the canopy form to wheel bay that also doesn't exist.
- Very bad pilot figure.
The pilot figure looks really bad and you need to add one to hide the empty void of a cockpit.
