I’ve always been captivated by the early jet aircraft that grew out of the German war effort. After the war many of the engineers that designed and built those incredible new flying machines known as jet aircraft found their way to both allied and Russian factories to help those nations build their versions and change the nature of aerial warfare forever.

 For the modeler – this review will show you where to look for those bargain kits (this one cost me all of one dollar at Dean’s Hobby Stop) that can really turn out to be great builds if you take a little extra time with them. It also explains how to use aluminum foil (not paint) to finish the kit and how to use a reverse a dull coat to allow building a completely new version of the model by changing decal sets. This kit also has a few issues that need to be addressed but they are typical for this type and age of kit. I also demonstrate how to section the canopy to expose the cockpit for viewing.
