Christian BruerWow, this kit is an old salt. I remember the box art when I browse the Revell catalogue for nearly 40 years ago. But as my friend Frank Spahr said, give old kits a chance. I'm in and look forward to your progress Ed.

Chris BLooking forward to watching. I have had this kit in my stash since about 1980, probably about time I built it!
