Very nice kit!

By: fbbrown (Fort Mohave, Arizona)

Very nice kit from Academy. Being a 1/72 scale, it actually is quite big!! Went together very well and a fun kit to build!! Really don't have anything bad to say about this model. Would recommend it to a pretty good skilled modeler though if you want it to come out nice! Great price!
