Booo! I got this kit months ago, planning to do it for the Vietnam GB and I thought i was the only one! :doh: Now everybody will do it and I will not be special anymore! :cry:

On a different note. I do agree about the decals. They look like the best decals I have ever seen. Then again, its made by Cartograf for Meng, so you wouldnt expect anything less. It will be a tough decision with the bomb bay. If you have it closed, you wont be able to spot any ordnance at all, however, if you do it open, it spoils one of the best looking silouettes in my opinion.

I agree mate, but I think I'll go for a closed bomb bay :)

Loved the review - purchased the kit and looks very nice. Definitely a lot of plastic for 1/72!

One issue though is the colour callouts - Vallejo Model Air is OK but still mixing to get a grey base colour. Anyone got any recommendations for Tamiya or the Gunze Sanyo Aqueous ranges for the paint schemes as I prefer single colours to mixing?

Thanks very much.
