Seldom we see a wheels up bird. I like how it looks without anything hanging here and there. Lockheed did a great job on this one.

I read some bad reviews about this kit, but look at these beautiful bird. Even if the air intakes and the cockpit may not be entirely realistic, I think about to order this kit too. Well done Katya, you choose a beautiful color sheme and you did a great job, it looks very good.

Maciej, I decided on wheels up mainly because I was out of shelf space! I like to do a lot with wheels up and hang them from the ceiling, which was surprisingly difficult in this case as the gear doors really didn't fit very well into their places, hence why they stick out somewhat here. and thanks! It means a lot that people like my models. 🙂

Marco, It does definitely have some fit issues, and as well as the intakes it isn't actually a P-80/F-80A as advertised, (since it has radar in nose and ejector seat, instead of landing light in nose and normal seat) however I have built worse models, and it is probably better than the alternatives. Here's hoping they release an F-94A or B Starfire too!

And thank you very much!, I went with this colour scheme due to not having any blue paint for the alternate one, and other than a few problems (some of the decals were too large) I think it did come out ok. 🙂
