"Good representation of the SR71"

jimmbbo

A very affordable SR71. Another Revell/Monogram kit that's been around for a while, but has aged well. The outline, shape and surface detail are very well done, and the kit has few parts, so ig goes together easily, and the D-21 drone is a nice plus. When completed, it captures the look of the Blackbird well.

"When paired with the D-21 drone, this is actually an M-21"

rarem37

With the drone launching stand on the rear of the SR-71; it is actually a M-21. The two craft together were referred to as M/D-21. This kit is a simple but nice build. If you don't use the drone launching stand it is a good SR-71 model and the drone can be displayed on the cart supplied in the kit. Applying the decals can be a problem due to the corrugated surface of the wings. Applying them over gloss paint and using Micro Sol will take care of most of the problems.

"Classic kit that never gets old."

blawhorne

This kit is an older kit,dating back to the late 70's/early 80's. It has molded-in black pieces, with five more clear. A surprising amount of detail from the cockpit jumps right out at you. It also includes 2 pilot figures, and a GTD-21A drone that can be displayed on the aircraft's aft. This beautiful kit has survived and aged well, and is still incredibly popular today.

"Not bad for an older kit"

Patrick (Sydney, Australia)

Overall, the product was good considering the age of the kit. You will need to fill the gaps in the underside wing sections when you glue the two main fuselage sections together, and a little for the horizontal stabilisers. The decals were suprisingly good. I omitted the landing gear and mounted it on a stand, and did not glue the canopies so that I could remove them to look at the cockpit details. For a low cost kit, it was value for money.
