This boxing only has the colourful test aircraft from the A&AEE circa 1970. There is another boxing with decals for RAF FAW7 or FAW 9 versions too.
Not very many parts to the kit, and they are spread over 4 sprues. Not all the parts are needed for this version. There are 4 missiles, which I now think are Firestreak and underwing fuel tanks.
The decals are very simple and look to be thick and glossy. No stencil data is provided.
The cockpit is a vertical sided hole in the top, the seats bear very little resemblance to the M-B Mk 2, and the crew need hospitalization
Personally I think the best option is to install substitute pilots in the cockpit.
The canopy which was loose in the box, is pretty low quality and not exactly crystal clear! Some Pledge/Klear/Future might help a bit.
The plastic has an odd texture to it - almost a wood grain effect. It'll need priming to see how smooth it is. There are quite a few sink marks too, some of which, on the upper wing will need smoothing over.
Everything is very simple - too simple really and is very reminiscent of a Frog kit. This one would be a "see right through the aircraft" type, so some sort of internal work will be needed to stop that!
Very cheap and moderately cheerful.
Cheers
Andrew
