Comments

Phil Marchese
Double branded on the Testors box art, the kit is of Italian orign. Originally received positive reviews until a number were started or completed. It is the general concensus that the kit is shallow at the nose and somewhat distorted in cross-section at various stations giving the final product a slightly distored overall represenation. The size and corners of the windows and the simplified nose enclosure and canopy shape decrease the fidelity of the model. The generally accepted choice is the original Monogram Snap Tite and its follow on boxing. Although limited by snap fit engineering and engine blacks overall shape and gear/wheel details are super.
