The airbrush is a cheap $80 airbrush compressor combo. I didn't want to drop $400 on a great setup until I knew if I would really like this or not.....hind sight though. Regardless, my wife will use this one for her craft projects when I upgrade SOON. ;D ;D ;D

And I am thinking once the brass at the Smithsonian get word of this little beaut, they will probably send a Leer for me.
Gotta go, I have to pack my bags!!! ;D

The kit is remarkably simple. The cockpit is really only about 3 or 4 pieces with hardly any detail. The biggest problem fitting wise that I have seen is the cockpit glass. It fits like garbage and looks like garbage. I am going to have to shave and mold it a bit to make it look good. All in all, probably a good kit for a first time build. The way I see it, if it comes out looking like crap, then it was only $12 and I can give it to a kid to play with. ;D

[QUOTE="RKrebs, post: 195155, member: 19841"] The airbrush is a cheap $80 airbrush compressor combo. I didn't want to drop $400 on a great setup until I knew if I would really like this or not.....hind sight though. :) Regardless, my wife will use this one for her craft projects when I upgrade SOON. ;D ;D ;D And I am thinking once the brass at the Smithsonian get word of this little beaut, they will probably send a Leer for me.
