A friend gave me this about a month ago and I just started last week.
See? it sat in his garage for 8 years! The kit inside is fine. ironically i removed the shrink wrap, but besides the box damage, everything seems ok.
This is my first Italeri kit, and maybe my last if they all use plastic this soft. I wanted to drop the flaps but the thin and flimsy condition of the styrene brings me to pause. I'll pop the airbrakes and maybe drop the tail hook, but this will be built OOB.
Body detail is nice- but right now I'm calling her Sandy because thats whats happening to every seam on the main fusc. She's curing now, I'll start posting picks after the first smooth.
