                        Nice 'Cat Chris. I've done a few of the Hasegawa but not the Academy.

                        Thanks a lot guys!

                        The kit is actually a retooled Frog mold, the landing ear assembly is a bit tricky. The body though has nice detail.

                        I was looking at that exact kit at HL the other day, and was wondering how good the kit was. Now I know, great job.

                        Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.
