I just love that aircraft. when I discovered the aircraft I knew I must have it.
I purchased the pioneer kit from squadron back in the day and excitedly built it (will post a pic sometime).
then found out about and purchased the revell kit which is posted.
I also have the dragon 1/48 kit purchased when it was issued. still in the box.
I would really love to have that new 1/32 scale kit I saw on a post on this forum where the person did the woodgrain.
that is some absolutely stunning workmanship. I discovered it after I posted mine and felt humbled.

I have build the Pioneer/PM kit to:

Because of the lack of cockpit details I added a pilot with that typical Draeger pressure suit.
