The pit is made for the Monogram kit, but it fits quite well, just some minor djustments later on.

Boy, the add-on alone are going to cost more than the kit! I'm taking a seat to see how you spruce this one up!

Oh my what a project. Will be interesting to see how those detail parts will do. Also nice sheet, what decal option are you going with?

Thanks a lot gentlemen! Well all those stuff collected dust for many many years, when scale models and add on didn't have such high prices like today, so all this wasn't more than 30 bugs bought at model shows.
@Rando, I haven't decided yet, it will be an US one, but not sure which one.
