I wonder if that's the same as the later Italeri reboxing. If so, the kit should be quite nice.

Patrick, It is the same. Italeri did add a recon pod and an ejection seat to the newest boxing.

Thank you for the compliments. Now to my quandary.... I was originally going to do this one Out Of Box, so I could enter it in that contest category if I so desire. But, these German Navy Starfighters would normally have an armament of two AS34 Kormoran anti-ship missiles. Eduard Brassin makes the missiles in 1/72 and I could get a set very easily for this build. But, if I do that this build will no longer be eligible for OOB category and I might as well put in an aftermarket ejection seat I already have. Any thoughts?

Shame about the primer, Ken. I thought the Badger primers were suppose to be really good...

I stick to my Mr. Surfacers. Although a bit nasty smelling but they do a hell of a job getting my surfaces prepped.

By the way, the Ejection seat must be a Martin Baker Q7, Germany had no Starfighter with the Original Lockheed seat. 🙂

I normally use the Mr Surfacer or Tamiya primer products. I bought the Badger primer from Amazon and I guess it froze during some air mail. Supposedly the Badger primers suffer if they get frozen. Anyhow, into the bin they go and after it is stripped I will probably use Tamiya white primer.

Herbert, I am doing this build OOB so whichever seat the kit comes with is the one that is used.

Nice story,thanks for sharing! I was also so overwhelmed by the AK-RC quality that I replaced the whole batch within two Months. Just left Tamiya and MrColor which mix perfectly with the RC thinner aswel. All other acryllics including Vallejo, AK, Hataka - are waiting the inevitable - Marie Kondo 😄 does not spark joy 😄
