    Jonah, that then begs the question if the SAC metal struts are also an improvement on the kit parts, or are they necessary to carry the weight?

    Vince, worth it?

    I'm happy with the wheels. SAC's metal gear. I've never seen anything but the plastic gear recast in metal and they bend easy. I've had no problems with the gear in the Monogram kit.

  2. I'm building the kit now. yes its better then the Testor's kit, but it doesn't really take much to do that.  The photo-etch is a hair wider then the parts that go on and I couldn't make heads or tail of the control sticks.  also there are no positive location points for the the cockpit to the lower fuselage (?). The fit of some parts are hit or miss but the main parts of the wing fit really good and will need a touch of filler.

    the one thing I felt let down on was the separate flaps. They are molded to be in the up position and will require work to lower them. As for the engines, intake and exhaust trunks, I don't know, I think their guess is as good as yours.
