This kit has the best landing gear I have ever built in 1/72 scale but I managed to break one of the struts.
Very fidly to assmble due to the number of small parts.

My hat is off to Tamiya on this kit . Well worth the money With a bit of cockpit work and some replacement decals :vmad It makes a fabulous built.

I hope you guys enjoy ! All comments are welcomed.

Now, to make up my mind French or Russian next ?

Hi Christian, Outstanding

The faded green looks awesome and really like how the panel lines came out

Thanks Randy . I am very pleased both with the kit and this paint job.

It would have been better if I had not launched one of those tiny gear doors into (where ?) and looked for twenty minutes just to find it stuck to the back of my hand .

Great kit ! B) Christian

Looking good, Chris! What is the little exclamation point on the starboard wheel cover? :drinks

 

[phantom II]

I guess they do look like an exclamation mark . They are access panels for some gear components.
