The Academy kit is
pretty accurate and has a great fit. I had alot of building it and since this
was my first serious attempt at achieving NMF. FOD covers were scratched built,
hydraulic lines were added to the landing gears and the kits ejection seat was
beefed up. A left over PE set came in handy to do the inside of the
canopy.
