Hello!
I'm writing from Northern Italy right now, I'm here on holiday and will come back home in a few days.
Some time ago I purchased the new Revell F-22 in 1/72, and noticed a feature that is not shown in any of the reviews I had the chance to read: the canopy is not clear but painted in clear yellow!
I know this is an important detail but something odd jumped out: it seems that the clear plastic is not "naturally" yellow, but seems sprayed over. In fact, at a closer look, it seems that some small drops of colour appear and even a small hair is trapped underneath the paint!
Is it a production issue or what? Did you find a clear canopy or a yellow one in the kits you purchased?
Thanks for any answer and have a nice day!
