SleeperService 3,586 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 This looks pretty good no show stoppers AFAICS the canopy is one piece closed and USN and Argentine decals are supplied. For reference there is the Naval Fighters 84 book and the Paul Matt drawings can be brought HERE if you want them, but I'm sure they can be found on t'Interweb somewhere. The Glencoe kit is about 1/50 but the Squadron canopy or the one in this set may fit this kit if you can't wait for somebody to offer one. Link to post Share on other sites

Corey in Colorado 87 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Good to see the Duck back, it’s a nice little kit. You have to wonder how they came up with the name of the new model company.... Perhaps???? Edited June 19, 2020 by Corey in Colorado 1 Link to post Share on other sites
SleeperService 3,586 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Looks like more is coming HERE'S the list with pre-order start dates. 5 hours ago, Corey in Colorado said: Perhaps???? I'd like to think so, a hugely underrated film IMHO. Glad to see it available again though we need more weirdness. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thepureness 2,552 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I wonder if Merit have had to change their brand name. Because they have reissued all their kits under a new name 1 Link to post Share on other sites
