Bill Davis This is a old kit and has a lot of sink holes. I have filled them and will post pictures later.

Matthew A There's less sink holes on that early boxing then some newer ones I've seen

Bill Davis that's why a got one of the older kits. I thought the molds might be in better shape.

Bill Davis Those are some good color photos. Do you notice the brace that goes across the bottom of the canopy? I am going to try and replicate that with .010 wire.

Johan DN I finished this kit last year. Had this kit for 30 years in my stash and I also painted with 30 years old Humbrol paint. I also had paused modelmaking for 30 years. Only problem were the decals. They totally disintegrated.

Matthew A I've put some more reference pictures in my project

Bill Davis Johan , I had doubts about the decals, so I got some new ones by Black Bird.

Bill Davis I have the airframe together, filled and sanded. Now it's time to prime.
