I think this is going to be my next build:
As per my usual, picked up for a fiver in a charity shop. Box a little squashed, but the sprues look undamaged in their sealed bag. Not sure if the decals should be this shade of yellow though:
I've never seen this before - two of the sprues joined together and folded one over the other.
Had me worried that some of the parts were interlocked, but no, it unfolded without damage.
Three grey sprues plus one clear:
This is my first Esci kit, and so far I'm impressed - very little flash, not ejector marks in visible places as far as I can tell, and nice finely-recessed detail:
There are some flow lines on the larger surfaces, as you can see on the wing above, and a couple of nasty sink marks on the forward fuselage halves, but nothing major. The canopy has some stress marks and a few scratches, but I'm sure it'll look better after a bath in Klear/Pledge/JohnsonsMultisurfacePolish.
Any comments or suggestions will be gratefully received.
Should get started tomorrow.
