Interesting review of a very old kit. The release you review was, IIRC, released in the early 90s. Hasegawa has released this kit at least twice more since then. The kit itself was done initially in the 70s by Mania. It's still a very nice kit and a favorite of mine from the Mania release.

If memory isn't playing games, Mania did 2 releases of this kit. The first was a single kit and the second release having 2 kits.

Incidentally, I also just watched your Mr Hobby metal color review. These are great paints that work even better on GSI's own primers. My preference is Mr Surfacer 1500 Black.

This is also a favourite of mine I also build it as a rubber power one from Nat Stermen planes.
