Exclamation The kit

This old Fly model kit was printed on A3 size paper ( essentially two A4 side by side ).

The cover page is an attractive print of a nice painting . I wish the kit was printed in the same colors, but it is a dark green and a light grey coloration that does not look authentic.

The paper quality is decent and a bit on the thick side.

All the parts were hand drawn in the day and the parts all have a heavy ink outlines. The panel lines are arbitrary and it appears that the designer took liberties in the camouflage scheme and had a difficult time matching the patterns as will be see.


There are sketches and figures that show the various part location which the average builder can handle.
