Bad,


Lookin to be a great start man, plan on doing any AM stuff for it ??

Saw it built at a show in Verona, Wisc. last weekend. Believe it took best of show. Very nice kit, and a very nice build. Seemed that most vendors had one (or more). Cheapest was about $90, I think.

Gordon Kwan had one at IPMs he let us drool over. That is one bad kit. I swear one of the pilot heads looks just like Gary Owsley (White4)! Hehe It had two sheets of decals bigger than a sheet of paper!

this one's going to be straight out of the box. Later on I'll probably pick up another and pull out the bells and whistles :-) Decals will be aftermarket though. I'm using SuperScale sheet 32-104, markings for VFA-25's CAG bird from Op Desert Shield.

Have to agree totally with Badpony, this is one awesome kit right out of the box. Bad?, I'm sure you noticed the cockpit layout. There is , or will be a two-seater out in the near future. Duel cockpit, seats, just need the canopy and the instruments for the back seater. Well worth the money guys.
