Very, very nice! I got one of those, but the Minicraft offering in black plastic to replicate, I guess, a Black Cat. I am already dreading wrestling with the clear parts ...

The clear parts on this one weren't that bad actually but I used the larger from turret.  The other one uses a two tiny clear parts plus the little gun inside.  For all the tiny windows I just used clear-parts glue.  The canopy and bubble painted and went on with no problem.  It is a good kit.  SInce it is so small I may get the Black Cat version and do one in the water.

Chris, another beauty.  Seems to be your scale.  Check out some of the Sweet kits also.  I hear they are appropriately named.
