of their pressure fit experiment, I
still prefer a build that needs some
glue. The plastic is a nice dark-
grey styrene, plus a small fret of
etched metal provides a turbine
for the jet pipe and seat belts.
MENG also have for sale
separate sets for various weapon
additions. Many of these can be
added to the wing pylons that
are included with the kit, but the
kit itself only supplies weaponsfor the interior weapons bays.
I would like to mention that I had
a difficult time finding confirming
information on this aircraft. Many
pictures and references that I found
online of the -A model were early
versions, where the interior and
exterior colours would
be different from
what MENG has listed
in the instructions.

THAT ANYONE BUILDING
THIS SERIOUSLY CONSIDER
GETTING A MASKING SET”
