mister craft kits are a very mixed bag. Some of them , like the thunderjet, are poor copies of very old (50 years +) kits. Some are reissues of older KP kits , but their fouga magister is apparently a reboxing of the Heller kit with their decals. btw their decals are mostly of poor quality, inaccurate & incomplete. But if you have spare decals e.g. from a Special Hobby kit, some of their kits like the fouga, maybe a cheap alternative. Here at scalemates , you can always check the product timeline to find the ancestors of a kit, and a vendor like super hobby shows the content of the kit on their website so that you can know what to expect before buying.

Erik, I know. I use the Scalemates database frequently. This was just one of those impulse buys. I was searching EBay for kits to complete my Thunderbirds collection and this one popped up. I hadn't heard of the Skyblazers before, so decided to pick it up. I've built a lot of 'marginal' kits in the past, so I usually don't worry about that. I can still build them, and if they're sub-standard but of a unique subject, that's fine with me. But this kit was SO bad, that when the decals started disintegrating, there was no point in even keeping the kit. That's the first time in 65+ years of model building, that I've tossed a kit without completing it!

A beautiful build of an interesting subject as is usual from you!

Dave Burgess
Thx Ben. I particularly liked 'posing' it alongside my fictional Tiger Meet CL1200 (CF-204??).

I did that color scheme ages ago, I wish it would have looked half as good as yours 🙂

Dash Rendar
Great build, well done!

Great build! Always nice to see B5!

Great project! The Talon looks extremely good in the Thunderbirds colors. I really hope that the T-38 will come onto the market as a new kit in 1/72 at some point. In my opinion there is a real gap in the market. The few old kits are very difficult to obtain. Congratulations on the project.

Dave Burgess
Yeah,I don't even HAVE this model anymore. Got crushed when a couple of my display case shelves collapsed a few years ago (support pins worked themselves loose). I'm working on doing the TBirds collection in 1:72 because I need less display space. I've found a t-38 kit, but as yet, no decals. I believe Warbirds does a 1:48 sheet, but not a 1:72 sheet.

Great job, Dave!

Dave Burgess
Thx. This was an EBay purchase of a partially completed model. The rescue turned out pretty well.

Ekki
Nice work!

Dave Burgess
Thx. I'm gonna have to re-take the teaser photo: it's a bit out of focus

Robert Podkoński
Good job, Dave!
