The Kit is from Sierra Scale Models, vacu model with some white metal parts (engine, prop, landing gear) and good decals. Vacu is not my prefered variant of building models, but this fighter was very cool-

History of this fighter

Never have built a vacuform kit before or seen one in person actually, but I know they can be a real challenge. Your finished model came out looking great.

Well done! Another wizard on board.....Vac-u-form scares me to death. Won't touch it.

:P1:

A beautiful build CL!!

It was a challenge I've dealt with a vacu-form canopy on the SU-6 AM-42 kit. Don't get me wrong, I managed to do the best I could but never again I want to deal with anything vacu-form.

That’s lovely work! I especially like the finish. The camouflage is very well-done and I like the subtle fade you out into the paint. Very, very nicely-done!
