Hello Chaps,
It's been quite a while since I posted on here, due to life and work, but today, I've finally got a little time to post something.
This Revell of Germany kit is another great kit produced by them, engineered well, good quality molded parts, nice details, and everything goes together very well. I only required a little filler and that was at the joins of where the canopy and front nose end window fitted to the fuselage.
Flash was very little if anything, ejector pin witness marks were kept away from visible surfaces and nothing was warped, but, exactly what you'd expect from a recent tooling from 2015.
It's good value for money too, 257 parts in total for $34.67 from Hobbylinc.com.
I built this model straight out of he box, the only addition being the two antenna cables that were made from .010" fine black EZ-Line.
I bought mine from a local store that I had a $5.00 off coupon, so, less than $30.00 for me.
Conclusion: Super kit, great price, highly recommended!
Anyway, enough waffling, here are some photos, hope you like....
If you'd like to see my YouTube build and "Final Reveal" videos for this kit, then here are the links to all 6 videos:
