Another good choice Geo. I used this kit for my (still unfinished !) RCAF build.

Thanks Terry. Just realized I'll have to see if I can find another photo as this one has later markings. I have everything but the red "Canadian Armed Forces" on the intakes.

Geo, I have the "Canadian Armed Forces" decals. French on t'other side. Yours if you want them.

Innards added to Post #2. I will stay true to the decal sheet and search for a photo. As can be seen in Post #1 and Post #5, this aircraft wore three different markings if the decal sheet is correct

Bring it on George

I have this kit in the stash. It will be interesting to see how in compares to your Hasegawa build

I really like the old Revell/Monogram kits. The level of detail for the time was very good when compared to their competitors back then. I look forward to seeing your progress.

The decal for the Instrument Panel is a bit to large so I've removed the raised detail and will slightly alter the decals. This is also down for my other single seat -104 GB

Moving to Step 3, details abound...

​

I'm going to close the gun compartment so the insert will act as a back stop

​

Thank you Revell for coming to your senses....finally. Poland sticker?
