I have the same kit bought a looooong time ago. Different decal sheet though, one scheme being Wick's and the other one escapes me. I remember being very impressed with it and it's still sitting in the box, partly assembled. It still looks pretty damned good except for a few glaring things like the leading edge slats needing to be cut and opened if the plane is to be displayed in anything but high speed flight. Also, the exhaust stubs suck and should be drilled out or, more preferably, completely rebuilt to look convincing in this scale.
There's also a book that I have that has step by step instuction on how to improve the kit to add more realism.
Hmm, maybe I'll take this out of mothballs for the BoB build. Scratching whiskery chin....
