I ran across this kit in the clearance bin of the local Hobby Lobby. Never heard of the jet before, and though it was an interesting subject. Any information on the kit or the airplane?

Its a nice kit. I cant remember any major problems when I built mine. If you want more information about the F-107A I recommend Air force Legends Number 203: North American F-107A by William J. Simone. This book contains a wealth of information about this unusual aircraft.

I built my kit as a what if project in Vietnam markings.

Thanks for the info. I had never seen or heard of the kit before, but at $9.59, I could hardly pass it up. The SEA camouflage looks neat, I think I'll do mine in a 60s style interceptor look.
