Speedman Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Built for the obsolete kit group build. Converted to F-47D-35-RA of the Cuban Army Air Force. Build thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Always love a Jug but some of these kits can really be a bit die cast looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedman Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Always love a Jug but some of these kits can really be a bit die cast looking. It's a bit basic and the panel lines are far from "fine detail" but for a kit released almost 40 years ago it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I had no idea what I would find when I opened the box, at least it wasn't a nightmare to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Millman Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Johan's 'Jug' was a neat and well respected kit for its time (with optional bubbletop and razorback options in the one kit) and has had more than justice done to it here, with an excellent build, unusual markings and impressive presentation. The diecast comparison is not really valid as this kit first appeared long before that fad and at a time when engraved detail like this was the exception rather than the norm. It is great to see this one built and built so well. Thanks for showing it. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
