Conclusion:

This is a great kit for anyone looking for pure modeling satisfaction on a subject that is not pre-Vietnam era. I very much enjoyed building this kit and look forward to doing another one for myself in the near future. For the more adventuresome modelers looking for even better detailing, recent releases from Kendall (resin cockpit), Paragon Designs (wing flaps), and Teknics (brass landing gear) allow for plenty of extra detailing to be done to the kit. Pick up one of these kits and dig in!

Not as good as some of his other works I've read, but they were more technical in nature than this one. A good read, though. What is that yellow thing on the front gear? A helmet?

:-) Nice model, confirms for me that I will have to re-scribe the panel lines :-) Tim, I actually have the detail and scale book on this, the yellow thing on the front gear is a cover over the GCA antenna, whatever that is :-) Mal

It is a good model but....I agree not as good as some others he has done...The F-14 splinter pattern springs to mind straight away. His pre and post shading is fantastic though.......as always.....

Thanks guys, I thought it was an unusual place for a pilot to hang his helmet.
