F-89C Scorpion Interceptor

This kit represents the cannon-armed F-89C Scorpion. The kit is based off of the F-89D/J kit issued in 1990 but it has new fuselage halves and other parts relevant to the earlier F-89C. The model has fine raised panel lines, the correct ejection seats (pilot and RIO seats are not the same) and the blast screen between the cockpits. Markings are for Hamilton AFB and Montana ANG. I have the earlier issues of the F-89C kit and this recent issue and the quality of the moldings is still very good with almost no flash. There is still a fair selection of decal sheets out there for the B and C model Scorpions and you have some pretty colorful choices over the kit markings. This the only 1/48th scale kit of the Scorpion at present and aside from the raised panel lines it's good one. I hope Revell will see fit to re-issue the all missile armed F-89D and J models as well.
