Darren Roberts Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I finished this up for a gentleman and took a couple of pictures before I boxed it up and shipped it off. It's not too bad of a kit. It's a whole lot easier than trying to fix up the Lindberg kit. However, it is a typical limited run kit with thick plastic. The vac canopies aren't the greatest, and the cockpit detail would have been much better had it been all resin. The wheel bays and exhaust area are nicely done, though. Overall, I'd rate it a 6 or 7 out of 10. The decals were the 1/72 Superscale set enlarged to 1/48 and copied onto decal film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chorse6 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Darren, Very nice. Weathering is perfect! Didn't you recently do the Lindberg tranformation or was it someone else? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yup, that was me who did the Lindberg kit. This was much easier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
