I have resurrected one of the victims in my Bagged-Kits-Box for this one. You know the box, that one under your bench that has all the partially started, tossed aside kits languishing in it.
This one came to me a long time ago from the Squadron Discount flyer, for about $6-$7. I got it just cause it was there, as I recall. I started it, shoved it aside, moved, discharged from the NAVY and then moved again. Recently I pulled it from the BKB and got excited again about it. Then I discovered trouble.
Somewhere in all the moving, one of the wings went missing. Yeah Im the guy who was asking if anyone had a spare. I ended up buying another kit off ebay and so Im back in the Alpha Jet business. Here’s a pic of the kit, as it sits now:
Here’s what it’ll end up looking like:
Aint that a sweet looking bird?
There are more than a few inaccuracies in the kit itself, as has been noted over the years. I hear the new Heller release is no better, being only a rehash of the ESCI kit. C’est La Vie. Besides, I have some refurb parts for my airbrush to buy before I can get there, but I’ll face these challenges, with your support. Watch for updates.
