Italeri0145S – 1: 72 Sr 71 Blackbird

Item was described as "acceptable". The box was slightly faded but the items inside were in perfect condition.

Very nice replica. Italari did a great job. My only "critique" is I wish the panel lines were recessed and not raised but it looks so good otherwise that it's not such a big deal.

The mold for this definitely leaves more to be desired. A lot of pieces required gluing and clamping to get them to stay in place, the main body gap was difficult to manage, however they at least did it in a way where it's not very noticeable. Still, the mold is not impressive, may want to consider the other available kits.

Unable to give product review at this time. Purchased model for a rainy day project at our lake cabin.

Very very small as I knew, but one of the nicest of models despite its size....I think it looks very cool
