Greetings!
It appears I am not the only one building this kit.
Starting off with the box art and sprues:
That's all I have for now. The kit has had a wash and I'm hoping to get the time to make a start tomorrow.

Re: Saab J-21R
The kit has gone together reasonably well. The fuselage was a good fit. But there are gaps in the tail wings that will need to be filled.
I've not been very good at taking progress shots. Here is where I am at.

Re: Saab J-21R
What do you say to coordinating our decal choice? That way, we can have two different J-21Rs. I'm thinking about doing CAM. D. for my bird.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!
