    Hi everyone!

    Here's what my older (9yo) son got due to him being good at school...

    Of course, I was forced to start it right away. Here is the progress... A 40 years old mold and it shows! Tackled as limited run kit. Fit? Fit? We don't need no stinkin' fit!
    As a note, Maverick flew the Super Hornet in Top Gun 2, so, in essence, this kit representing the older Hornet means it is wrong, a whatiffer at best. Oh well!
    More to come!

    This will be a great reward, Spiros (@fiveten). Even though it is very old, the basic shape is there.
