Have you seen the state of *this* ?

WOW. It's all prepainted like that? It's beautiful, but it seems like cheating to me.

I don't think it's prepainted. Where would be the fun in that? But the detail is just wonderful.

If I were tempted to build a 1/48 S-3, I could pay £12.99 for a Paragon wingfold set, £14.75 for a Paragon flap and slats set, £22.99 for a Goffy Models wheel and weapons bay set and £34.50 for the Goffy cockpit set. A total of £85.23 on aftermarket parts for a £17.99 kit! And I *am* tempted! ;-)

It's not prepainted. It's a resin kit that you have to assemble and paint to get it to look like that.

Almost enough to tempt me to get the ESCI/Italeri kit.

Good grief indeed! Too bad the AMT/Esci canopy is too dark to let that detail be seen...

think navy 1 will end up in a museum?

Nawwwww....

Not impressed.

They neglected to include the Pilot Pens and Post-It notes used by the back-seaters. I'll STILL have to resin cast the missing detail set items on my own, AGAIN!!!!

what about the paper coffee cups and girly mags?
