Hey, BRONTO! I did find one thing that fit! The model fits real well into it,s box! Naw , all kidding aside everything you said is true except the decals did work okay.This, next to my early "HARRIER"kit has to be the smallest big bird I have. To coin a phrase "a boid in da hand is woith two inna bush". I don,t usually buy a/c this small but now I have the F-14 in all the model sizes available ! I was just wondering about it because the guy I got it from has a bunch more from the same folks. Oh well---tankerbuilder
