Another great job! Is that thier OLD release of the 109? If so, it sure shows how nice those old kits can turn out!

Yes it is an older tool judging by the funky green plastic it was molded in.Still,for a '60’s-era tooling it has a nice engine and the proportions seem pretty good.

Their 1/32 planes were usually scaled well off of planes in Museums when the kits were originally designed. If you are not a rivet counter and in love with todays recessed panel lines, or willing to do mods yourself, they are good kits for the money. The fit wont be up to todyas standards, but with some work and TLC, some very nice results can be had.
