REVIEWER:

Scott Van Aken

One thing about Monogram kits is that they generally have pretty good detailing. It may not be 100% accurate, but it is pretty good. Well now you can have better than pretty good with this set from Black Box. These early jets were not much more complicated than their WWII predecessors, so you are not going to be inundated with little teeny thingies that go all over the place.

This set includes the tub, an accurate bang seat, side walls, instrument panel, anti-glare sheild, control stick, gunsight bits and rudder pedals. It is also a healthy chunk of resin so will help to keep it on its nose. The only addition you'll have to make is to supply some wire for the ejection seat pull handles.
