Chasing the ultimate build.

106 fan here. It's just the wrong scale. I'm sure it will be nice though.

Looking at the test shots, looks like weapons bay doors open or closed, early or late spine - with or without the refueling option, closed bay doors WITH THE GUN! Oh, man this is gonna ROCK!

I'm waiting to see if Kitty Hawk will come out with one in 1/32 scale, that ought to be a best seller.

LOL! Yep you got that right and it never fails. In the past I have read several FSM articles of a modeler pain stakingly scratch building a never before seen model only for it to come out on the market a short time later.

Well, I did order 4 of them. Sigh.... First off, Im gonna buy an AM cockpit tub and HOPE the instrument panel is not as fragile as the kit part. They offer both "round eye" and "tape" instrument panels and the side panels on both sides will snap off if you BREATHE on them. (Don't ask.) 

Second gripe, because they provide the intakes down to the fan and the instructions aren't quite clear how these are suppoesed to fit; (I've glued one duct to the intake side and I'm thinking it wasnt supposed to be that way!)intakes don't fit quite right, so unless I get those figured out to my satisfaction, the intake covers are going on!

Third, another case of over engineering by China Corp. Lot of sanding and test fitting to get the fuselage together. Angry In a nutshell, not off to an auspicious start.

Man, I was hoping this kit didn't have too many Mickey Mouse issues.  I am looking hard at getting it since I'm from Great Falls, it has the 186th FIS decals set that would make a nice addition to my collection.

Keep updates coming.

I have never seen one of their kits but havine a coffin as an opion would be nice.  As far as squadrons go, 5th Fighter or the full paint job for the 95th F.I.S.

Stopped by the LHS this afteroon during lunch and saw the kit. Selling it for $52. It does look like it would be a nice kit to have.
