SUMMARY
Highs: Crisp detail of panel lines and rivets. Includes new sprues for Wild Weasel V and canopy options.
Lows: Clear was damaged due to close proximity to other clear parts. May need polishing to remove marks.
Verdict: A new variant built using a modern released kit (90's) that should build into a nice kit. Some accuracy issues reported with that original release.
