Mike Esposito Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 One of my favorite Jet aircraft. When I was a kid in the late '60s and early '70s, we saw them daily as we played baseball in our yard. We lived 3 miles from O' Hare airport in Chicago. Those engines sure made a lot of smoke! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.sin Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I like the way they made the canopy, all manufacturers should do that! And the fact that there are no windows have to be masked off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 They are showing as £27.57 (price converted) on their site, I wonder how much these will cost when they reach the shops on these shores? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hub Plott Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Also out there for this kit are decals for Elvis' Lisa Marie from www.atlantic-models.com if they are still around. ( Can't check as work blocks their site) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 FWIW, i just started clipping parts off the sprues. There is a bit of work to be done cleaning up the sprue attachment gates, and some flash here and there mainly on the trailing edges of the surfaces that lay into the upper surface. However, once this cleanup work is done fit is excellent. Panel lines are extremely fine and to scale. -d- 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
