This was a very old Revell
kit (circa 1977) and contrary to all reviews this kit fit together like a glove.
I used Eduard masks for all clear parts, Brassin Wheels, and Alclad II for the
finish. The kit was built to hang from the ceiling so I built into it a wooden
support strip. I drilled a pair of holes in the wooden part for two binding
posts (female part) to pass into, then took two 10/24 bolts, drilled them out
and screwed them into the posts for the hanging system. The kit decals were
great and they laid down nicely on the clear finish with no silvering. Overall a
great kit.

The support system is featured above
showing the wooden brace and binder posts and the next photo shows the 10/24
bolt passing through the top of the model. The cockpit was fun, added lots of
little thing here and there, note throttles, wooden top on nav station, and lots
of cabling in front of pilot/co-pilot stations
