      I made one of these years ago when it was sold under the original manufacturer Monograms label.A very good kit with lots of interior detail as i remember.My local overpriced hobby shop has a couple on its shelves.Might have to get one.

      Nice choice Jeff.
      The weathering and battered look should be fun to do!

      Cheers

      This is going to look great Jeff, the kit looks good. Not built a Monogram in years, may have to get one in the stash lol.

      Have fun, John

      Thanks guys!
      As for the weathering, not sure as to how to achive this-specifically the sun faded paint. I saw something once about gradually adding more white to the mix and to highlite certain panels. Martin specified to not use primer both on the exterior and interior of the aircraft, probably due to weight issues. Thanks again, Jeff
