Very nice model. Is that a rebox of the older Hasegawa kit?

Nice that, they make an impressive model for a small kit with all that ironmongery slung under their wings. I'm liking for sure. 👍

I am not sure it could be but it is a nice kit to build, thanks for comment

Scalemates indicates this is a new tool for Academy in 1999, at most "influenced" by Hasegawa kit.

I tried to build this with a resin cockpit Upgrade (off hand don’t remember the vendor). Typical problems I’ve had with other kits. Cockpit tub is too narrow, etc. don’t the vendors actually try to build up the kit? 
The kit fit is very good and looks like a good build.
 

This Build looks great though. Inspiration to finish my kit.

I thought about a resin cockpit, but in the end i thought to be honest was not worth the money and effort, I must admit extra pe for this scale is also not a big deal except for instrument panel and seat belts as even in 1/48 some of it i cant even see so i stick with oob
