It went something like this...

"We need to make something better than a Mustang".

"What's better than A Mustang???..... .....TWO Mustangs!!!!"

That kit reminded me of a kit I should have brought more money to buy. A vendor at SYRCON was selling rare 1/48 scale F-82 Twin Mustang kits for $20 each. Now I'm kicking myself in the ass for not doing so. No sense in crying about it now.

That ModelCraft kit will make you hate life!

I did one several years ago...upon my latest return to modeling. Nothing...I mean NOTHING fits. So much sanding. If ya can beat it though...everything else is just a piece of cake. I got another one as part of a big stash I bought a couple years ago...still don't have the gumption to break into it yet! The kit NEEDS Squadrons vac canopies...kit parts are total $#!T...Eduard also has a PE set that helps a lot.

Even made the reader gallery Oct 2009



I'm sure I'll break out the Revellogram 1/72 kit long before I tackle the 48th kit again!

Yeah, that was the brand kit. They were bagged kits too.. A bummer really since you already had experience with it. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't waste my money on it. Funny thing, the vendor told me he bought them at $16 a piece. I can't remember where he found them though.

I am usually the last one to the party........a prototype P-82 is being restored
