Peter KlinThe kit is from the 70-ties, I bought it recently on e-bay. From a collector's point of view the box is in less than good condition (at least this is my opinion), but I believed the kit inside had worth a chance to become "alive". I like to work on these kits which waited several decades for someone to build'em!

Peter KlinThanks! Actually I did a lot of tries before reaching an acceptable result with the vacuformed canopy.

Peter Klinthanks! The american planes from the 30-ies with their yellow wings can give a lot of satisfaction to the modeller.

Mike GrantNice work on that old kit, I see you even masked/painted the fuselage nos. in 1/72! Most impressive. Are you going to post more pics of the finished model (please)? 👍
