Looks to me like the 1/24th. I have fond memories of that kit. Even a relative newcomer can produce a nice model from it

AMAZING! You're a genius! I made one of those when I was a kid, but it didn't turn out nearly as nice as yours. I had lots of problems with the windshield 'cause it's so thin and sanded away most of the rivet detail on the fuselage. Got glue all over everything! What kind of paint did you use to drybrush the highlights? Gotta get some.

Very nice.

Is the detail aftermarket, or does all that come OOB?

I remember a freind's brother building that kit 25 years ago. I thought it was so cool!
