I am talking to Italians modelers (salut to google translator!) whom have built some AMX 1/48 Warrior models. They warning me that both (Warrior or Duarte models) are not correct... specially when we talk about panel lines and you can't compare them with the blueprints on internet because they are wrong too! You have to check for pictures of the real bird...

But they are good kits even they are the only option in 1/48th scale. I will try to fix them as much as I can but I won't die trying...

Even I'm not a "black belt" modeller and this is my first resin kit I'm confident that I can do a nice work here.

Now that Kinetic (and maybe Hobby Boss too) will release the AMX model kit... I have to finish mine or I will never do it anymore...

Really SUPER I'm sorry that this kit is without italian decals, but I talk : it is very nice and super kit, maybe is it also one kit for the version one seat?

I hope to see your model finished!!!

Cheers from Italy

The canopy is thin like a paper so I've add some plastic stripes to help gluing it:
