According to Revell from wa back, this is an Authentic Kit. I guess so. Prettty much looks like the pictures you can find.

First completion of 2023. This kit should have taken about 3 days to build. Took much longer. A lot of flash, mold seam lines, stuff like that. Decals looked decent, but were about as thick as copy paper. Some broke apart. I quit trying on it. Not a bad kit all in all.

and you can see one of the problems...stuff won't stay put.
