Hi all,

Today at my parents house I found this little gem. I'm not sure how long it has been around, though I have never seen it before at my parents. My dad does not build, so it is a bit of a mystery. My mom was not sure either. So, what year is this thing? It is all complete and I'm surprised to see that it has recessed panels and lots of rivet detail. It looks kinda sweet. I know it is a Bachmann/Fujimi and it's in 1/48.

If my memory serves me correctly, it's an old 70's era kit.

Hi Derek

I never got that kit, but I think Dave's spot on with the 1970s as a date.

All the best

I think I had this kit in about 74-76. I think.

Thanks guys,

I think I may have to "liberate" this kit from my parents house. I probably won't build it, it it would be fun just to have around, since it is about as old as I am.
