The kit looks impressive in those pictures ! Have to say however that I was hoping for an injected plastic kit, even if it's a fairly obscure subject I've always been attracted to this aircraft. Maybe it's because it looks like the result of what happens when an F-16 and an F-18 spend a hot night together...

Fantastic!

I'll get one as soon as the kit is out.

Available on pre-order at Hobby Easy. As feared, not really cheap... :

Ouch ! Adding the VAT and whatever other charge it will be subject to when delivered, this is now a bit too expensive for my taste... guess I'll have to wait for a plastic one
