Album info
Got this kit from a buddy as a present. Well, its my first completed kit since 2019. So getting back into the hobby, this kit was very usefull. Fit, flash and sinkmarks kept me busy. I got the aftermarkets sets from Aires for the Hasegawa kit. And to 80% they fit well into this kit. So, cockpit an wheelwells are from the kit. Some PE parts are included as well. Decals are partly from the Italeri kit. The canopy is from the Hasegawa kit, since I lost the one from the I Love Kit.
The ABOS system behind the ejection seat ist scratch.
For painting I used MRP. I didn´t care much abou the silverish shine at this scale. There is a small layer of highly thinned silver on top of the paint job.
Would I build it again? Idk. Maybe I would try the Hasagawa kit.
Is this kit worth the price? Definiatly not. I wouldn´t pay more than 40 € for it.
But this kit helped to get back into the hobby.
