Intact sprues!

Opened instructions!

Unopened beer!

Music playing!




Does all this mean I've officially started? :lol:
I should be able to finish this within the month.

But first a 3-day festival, rock concert tonight, hiking to Preikestolen (pulpit rock) Monday. 8-)

Nice choice, I built that kit some years ago when KP was still behind the iron curtain!

Yours is in a nice fancy box. Mine is in the old recycled cardboard box. Is the plastic [ie parts] still the same as the old issue? Your sprue frames look different to mine. I'll be using aftermarket decals and a vac-formed canopy.

Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

That looks very interesting. Good choice.

This looks very good Sissel, will watch with interest. I built an Israeli Mustang in a similar colour scheme last year and really liked the result. According to Hannants this kit is not available ATM but is due to be re-released later this year-must get one.

Didn't realise there were such interest in this kit/markings. I do love Israeli aircraft (well anything Israeli!) myself.

I will try to get benchtime, but times ahead are busy with festivals, family visits, concerts, fjordcruises, Tall Ships Racing etc.. The 22nd I will be aboard Christian Radich (it's coming to visit yay!!) for a four-five our evening fjordcruise with shrimp buffet.

It's a small kit and I should be able to start and finish it. :)

Sorry Fred, I wouldn't know anything about the old issue. I've not opened the sprues yet but they do look good.

Sorry guys, this build isn't happening. Summer guest is coming soon (guest room is modelling room) and I will be very busy ahead with festivals, Tall Ships Race (will be here five days), fjordcruise on Christian Radich, concerts, beach-time, daytrips excursions etc.

Real life often eclipses the building world, no worries, there will be other builds.
