Same case as the Vampire before, stray kit from my friend's stash - he's AFV builder - and should be OOB. I can't help myself and I will add just some PE parts and emphasize riveting. No cutting whatsoever. Promise!

Hello Peter, I got these PE parts from LSA Models, UK. According to the shop assistant and probably an owner, Jason, they should have 2 more pieces in stock. Shop here lsamodels.co.uk/stoc..kit-F4D-1-SKYRAY.htm Or try this shop, they also had this item in stock a couple of days ago modellbau-universe.d..~72294;179;1;1;1.htm 😉

And if so you will learn something for the next model! I'm even more a beginner at this than you and I know that I will make some terrible mistakes at my first models 😛 but isn't also the reason why we doing this? Ok also of course the fun and that we are model-fans or in my case aircraft fans 😛
