I hope those kids at least have good decals?
Thanks man, that's really appreciated.

Yeah, they don't seem too bad, although the proof will be in the using. They can't be any worse than the ancient Matchbox and Airfix decals I've used over the years.

lol. Yeah well I don't do none chunky when it comes to scratch building! Think of it as a Minecraft interior!

@Carlos and Mike. Yeah I'm pretty certain it's a F-5B dressed as a T-38. The instructions to be fair do tell you to remove the LEX, but the intakes are the same on both kits.

Love that photo Carlos!

Thanks John, I appreciate that.

I've not seen that kit but I would imagine it's pretty rough.

I sprinkled that on some bagels and gave then to people I did not like. They were not amused.

Sorry for your troubles and hope things get better soon for your wife, Stuart. I recommend finding yourself a nice Tamiya 1/72 fighter. I fear you are going to find a lot of not simple between the start and finish of a PM kit.

The belly is deeper on the F-5 than on the T-38 as well, to accommodate a heavier landing gear.
