I was originally going to do a Tamiya Corsair, but having just built a different version have decided they fall together too quickly so have instead opted for this slightly meatier kit.

Not the highest parts count but still more than I would of had with the Corsair.

One of the clear parts has broken away, if it's damaged it will force my hand to whether the cockpit is open or closed.
And of course being a ProfiPack there's some extra goodies, resin main gear wheels, painted etch for the cockpit and regular etch for the engine loom and bomb/rocket fins.
(And course canopy masks to keep @The Smythe Meister happy.)

There are a few bits not on the sprues, these are actually the gun barrels, but fortunately the previous owner got a set of Master turned brass barrels.

Nice big geometric shapes on the decal sheet, I'll probably make my own masks to do these bits.

And being the big kid I am I'm going with some death and destruction.

All ready for next Monday, which is a holiday so should be off to a flying start. Except I'm away for work and shall be working on the Monday (Can't say no to the overtime.) So it'll the Friday before I can put cutters to plastic
