My wife made the mistake of buying me a copy of the July 2011 'Aviation News' magazine which had a feature on this aircraft where one of the ex-pilots described Blackbird Operations. The article fired my enthusiasm, which has brought this kit to the top of the pile. I am glad I bought the 1/72 scale as this aircraft is 'BIG', the kit only contains 43 parts, but the hard bit will be in the ageing of the paintwork.
For those not familiar with this aircraft some of its amazing statistics are Speed = +Mach 3.2; Ceiling = +85,000ft; Crossed the atlantic in 1Hr 54Min 56.4Sec in 1974.
Here are some shots of the box art and kit. Cheers Derek
