Album info

If I remember right this kit was pretty weak on detail, w/raised panel lines, it had quite a few sink marks, but it was cheap! It had very few panel lines, so I re-scribed them. I should have assembled it first because a few didn't line up as you'll see in the pics....and I overdid them a bit....
The kit was bagged w/no box & Xeroxed instructions. A fairly simple easy kit....well I say that now, even though it took a couple of months to finish. I forget what else I had going on at the time. It was my 5th kit so I was still collecting tools & such, building my little shelves,,, etc... etc....
....but it turned out pretty well all things considered....looks good hanging from the ceiling.
I recently bought the new Revell Halifax B Mk.III kit. By far a way nicer kit, I'm looking forward to building it.
