This one is molded in medium gray, and it looks kind of flashy than I remember the Monogram kits being. Old molds, more than likely. ----Stephen > Yeah, it's the Monogram kit right down to the operating flaps, > retractable gear and dropping bomb.

Seriously, the bombs on the photos of the model look like they weigh around fifty pounds each. They appear ready to take on this guy with his deadly bomb and Yak-3/P-51 hybrid aircraft: http://blog.modernmechanix.com/mags/qf/c/PopularScience/1-1945/lrg_cover.jpg Pat > Yeah, it's the Monogram kit right down to the operating flaps, > retractable gear and dropping bomb.

Goes together easy, and the working bits are fun--the kids will love it. Decal sheet looks interesting. > Older than most of the people buying this kit.

Remember the F-105 with the ejecting pilot and rotary bomb bay? Pat > Decal sheet looks interesting.
