  1. Cool! I knew an Air Force pilot once that said "If God had meant the Army to fly he'd have painted the sky green". LOL Anyway I love the subject totally different, well done!

  2. Fantastic build! I have always liked the looks of this neat plane. It seems that there were two evaluation machines in Greece, end 1964, wearing greek markings, competing with the F-5s, the latter being selected by the Hellenic Air Force. Your build turned my apetite on. Now, in which section of my shelf of doom have I put my Heller kit?

  3. Is this kit from the same molds as the ESCI kit?

  4. Nice build, interesting scheme! It kind of resembles the Sabre jet.

  5. Josh Patterson. I have no idea if it is the ESCI molds or a new Heller mold
