If it is motorised it will be one of Jap makers. Is the plastic rather think?


Looks good what you have done so far James. Take a breather, have a cuppa and then scream... :D

I found one of these in charity shop last year for a couple of quid. After a few trial fits of pieces I saved the aircraft sprues and a few pieces for spares and bined it.


Think it was one of the worst kits I have seen
