Cancelled for Non-Performance –
Can’t compare to a newer Japanese versions for build and detail, but if you remember this from your youth, it really is a fun project. I built all the other similar kits released about the same time, but never got to this one. A great chance to rectify that gap.

I had this for my birthday back in 1960 and loved it ! But what really did it for me was the
amazing box art, and it still does now ! The kit mouldings are still superb with only a small amount
of very thin flash, which comes of easily. I just love these old kits from my childhood !
Highly recommended !
