Now that's a nice old kit. It sure brings back memories. Looks like you put a lot of effort into the rigging as well. Nicely done.

That certainly does bring back memories of my early trips to the model shop. The Revell box art was really good and I bought a load of the small fighters because of it. The ships tended to be presents, as the price often exceeded my modest pocket money. I've been re-collecting these old kits again since my pocket money is now much better.

I'm enjoying your posts and some of these nice old subjects. Welcome to the Forum.

Cheers,

Chuck
