Bought this on impulse at my local (only) toy shop a couple of months ago... at one point I thought about giving it away, but I'm glad i didn't. Like the wee Jet Provost, this - IMHO - is a future Airfix classic. It's a gem of a kit, build [...]

by Mark Hedrick on October 15, 2024 · in Aviation · 8 ≡

This is a very old model. I had built it back around 1977 when I was in law school. Maybe Monogram then? I saw it at a local store on a very reduced sale so I thought I would give it a try for old time sake. It really shows its age. [...]
