Chematic F-82 Twin Mustang - Not FROG but definitely recycled

Placeholder for now.

 

I bought this kit as part of my contribution to the fantastic FROG Group Build. According to Scalemates, it was from the unreleased FROG tooling. Turns out it wasn't...

Looks like a Monogram clone. Techmod decals though, so it should be nice once built.

Oof, I'm not sure that looks any easier than the 48th Modelcraft one! (or is that two, being a Twin?)  Welcome!

I saw one of those last month at the local swap meet. It wasn't expensive and i don't think anyone grabbed it by the time i left.

This is hard work.

The plastic has a resistance to Tamiya Extra Thin and needs Humbrol tube glue. Even then there's very little "grip", almost as if it isn't reacting to the cement. It does eventually bond very firmly.

 

Parts fit isn't brilliant and the fuselage halves seem to be slightly different sizes, leading to a lot of fettling and smoothing.
