Thanks John. Aside from the harness, that's what comes in the box.

Thank you Rolf. All the masking is time consuming and can be tedious. But the results speak for themselves. And it sure is hard to go wrong when airbrushing Tamiya paints.

Yeon & John, thank you.
Yeon, it is a nice kit, aside from the spinner shape being too bulbous. But Academy otherwise did a really nice job on this kit.
John, yeah I'm with you on the later Mark Spits. That beefy nose for the Griffon engine really makes them look mean.
