From what i have seen, this is a nice kit. I think we had a couple of these in the 335 GB. And if you want, you can ditch the scheme suggested and make up one of your own.

 

 

 

 

Yes, just by a simple visual, this kit far surpasses the Revell of Germany kit.  I could be wrong but I think the ROG kit is a re-box of the Revell kit.  I definately was considering a Night Fighter version!  Thank you so much Bish for your continued support in my builds!

Just guessing, but I believe the Revell and the ROG kits stem from the Monogram kit that first appeared in the early 70s. It was a real good kit at the time but is certainly showing its age now. I have this same Tamiya kit in my stash, sans canopy mask, but no idea when I might move it to the bench.

 

 

 

 

 

I think you are correct in that this is the old Monogram kit.  Unless someone knows otherwise.  Thank you for the information!

The ROG is a rebox of the old Monogram Pfeil. The Tamiya is lightyears ahead and builds up really nice just OOB. I built mine a while back for the Arrow GB and decided to open up a few panels and detail it with resin sets.

You scored on this deal I recon.

 

I am tuned in for this one, for some odd reason I never had one in the stash yet.

Ooo! it comes with a pilot figure! Nice! Watching... waiting... I'll give you five more minutes. You should be done by then, right? LOL!

Take your time and enjoy it my friend  :D  I'm very much looking forward to following your progress.

 

I think this kit is able to convert into the Ardvark but I'm not sure yet.  I have yet to study my assembly manual.  I also haven't had the opportunity to see the review and build via YouTube.  Once I do my research I'll be able to start on the kit itself.  My friend, I am so honored that you continue to follow my build threads.  This means so much to me!  Thank you.  

As for your comment on the pilot figure, LOL!  I'll take the extra time out to paint the figure.  Please be warned, my figures look like virus infected people from AMC Walking Dead!  LOL!  You really made my day.
