The Kit

 

This my Academy Crusader. I used the Eduard PE detail set, CMK Control Surfaces, and Aires Martin Baker Mk. F-7 seat for this model. Fit of the kit is very good and would still build into a nice model OOB. At first I intended to use the kit provided seat detailed by the Eduard PE. But after finishing the seat with PE, I lost the seats. I had no choice but to purchase the Aires seat. The Eduard PE set helps a lot in detailing the landing gears and cockpit.
