The ScaleWorx conversion contains 4 Matra F2 rocket pods, 2 Mk. 82 250 lb. bombs, a replacement cockpit including ejection seat, chaff / flair dispensors, a replacement nose wheel, various RWR antennae, replacements barrels and exhausts for the 30 mm guns

The scheme I plan on using on this build is the SAAF scheme from the '70s and '80s. The instructions incorrectly identify this as from 1970. The Impala Mk. II did not enter service until the mid 70's

This is a nice easy kit to build and will look very attractive when finished. I finished my Macchi in early RAAF markings, I hope you enjoy your build as much as I did.

Thanks Michael. I'm actually quite a bit further in the build than these photos show and, as you say, it's a gem of a kit. The fit, for something so old, is fantastic. Hardly any filler required at all
