Hi Guys, Here we are again with another Revell kit. There's been a lot of blather and hot air about this model but my take on it is that it's cheap, well researched and fairly well detailed. I have the kits from Dragon, Tamiya and Zoukei-Mura but this one is the only model I've got anywhere near completion, in fact the only other one started is the Dragon offering and that soon ground to a halt. Revell's construction is very clever, parts fit is good, details actually very nice once you get paint on, the kit's pale grey/blue plastic tends to wash out everything until the paint makes it pop. Yes, it doesn't have the detail of the Tamiya and Z-M kits but it looks like a Mustang.
