We’re all familiar with the F-35 and all the problems it’s been having. However, at least it is having those troubles in an economy that has some money to throw at it! That’s a lot more than the guys at Mig had to work with when they build their 1.44 fighter demonstrator!
I’ve always loved the 1.44, and thought it looked like a great cross between the Lavi, J-10 and Eurofighter Typhoon. Unfortunatley, it’s such a big plane that I don’t really have room for a 1/72 of it. That’s why I was happy to find the old 1/144 Revell Germany kit. It’s quite nice, and it doesn’t use much more shelf space than a 1/72 Spit! (This is scary in its own right, of course!)
This is likely one of those kits that people have forgotten about, so I thought I’d dig it out for an Out of Box review! I quite like it, and it’ll be getting built soon!
