Since I decided to concentrate on 1/32 aircraft I have wanted to get my hands on this kit of such an iconic aircraft. ![]() As you can see this kit is almost 30 years old!!! ![]() So what do you get in the box? Firstly here are the instructions which are in a format reminicant of Monogram. ![]() ![]() ![]() You even get a broomstick. ![]() Here are the decals and as you will notice they have no bar which is correct at the time of setting its speed record. ![]() The lovely orange plastic with raised panel lines. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Reminds me of the spaceships from the very old b&w Buck Rodgers seriel. ![]() Nice detail on the hub and tyre. ![]() CONCLUSION. As you can see construction is fairly simple and the aircraft is a fair size for the scale. Detail in the cockpit is fairly accurate right down to the broomhandle that Yeager had to use to lock the door. I believe he cracked some ribs falling off a horse. Highly recommended. Thanks to my wallet for the kit. Steve Edited by Johni044, Jul 6 2017, 08:50 AM.
