    I'm building the Revell 1980's rebox, of what some say was Monogram's reentry into producing descent kits back in the seventies. The kit decals look kind of ifie so I ordered Print scale's F-82 sheet, not sure which A/C I'm going to do yet. Had to order missing headrest from Revell.

    Welcome to the group, Robert! I understand your dilemma about decal options; there are some good choices there!

    Please let me know how the Print Scale decals work out. I've got three of those F-82's in the stash begging for different markings.

    Just about done, canopies, props, gear, and load out to go, I found using the Print Scale decals they some times tended to curl when sliding them off, luckily the were strong enough to handle. I used the fuselage buzz numbers from the kit, which had the same A/C , the print scale were to big, although the other selections look right. When do we start posting for this group build?

    Quick work, there, Robert. Can you make these build threads a bit longer for those of us who 'need to get out a little more'?

    It's a lovely exotic bird, that double pony. Done her well, Rob!

    Thanks David, It 's such basic kit, It'd be nice if they reworked the molds with recessed panel lines. It'd make the decals sit better. often thought about converting one into a 'single pony', just s**ts and grins.
