In between work on the other builds, I decided to mess around with this one. I'll rescribe it as I always do with kits that have raised panel lines. What's interesting is that it says that it's 1/72 but it looks more like 1/48. I also may leave off the engine pods on the back. It looks a lot cooler without them.

A size comparison with the F-4.

And the one sprue of parts and one clear part.

That looks like a fun one. Just run with it!

I plan on it Stik! I have to be careful while rescribing because the plastic is very thin and flimsy.

Re: 1/72 Testors XR-7 Thunder Dart
Should be a fun one to watch. It does look bigger then 1/72 but I don't know how big the actual one was either.

Re: 1/72 Testors XR-7 Thunder Dart
So another comparison. The F-16 is 1/48 and the F/A-18F is 1/72 (and the Super Bug is a BIG jet).

A very cool subject choice Medic!
I can understand leaving the pods off the back, but what's that intake for on the undersides?

These are the intakes on the bottom. Part of me wants to do something with them as well just not sure what.
