This is another Platz/F- Toys collaboration and provides enough parts for two full models, making this good value for money. The exterior detail is delightful, with delicate engraved panel lines – these are arguably better than larger scale offerings – while the large locating pins indicate this can be assembled without glue if desired. No interior is provided for the cockpit, although this should be easy to scratch-build, and the models can be built in either wheels up/down configuration. The decal sheet has full markings for all three schemes, with red and black options for the wing walkway areas and emergency placards:
• 761562/Red 27 AF VFC-13 Fighting Saints, NAS Fallon, 2007
• 761578/Red 13/ AF VFC-13 Fighting Saints, NAS Fallon, 2017
• J-3079/079, Fliegerstaffel 8, Swiss Air Force, 2013
