What's not to love?

I built one back in '89. Great kit! Over the years several versions were released including an RAF version with the Boulton-Paul turret. This current kit is a great deal due to the six decal/color schemes (the Russian scheme was a great surprise) and the masking set that is included. I'd say it's the best deal for an important, under-rated semi-unknown Lockheed airplane. It may not have a lot of parts; that's just fine with me. Thanks to Academy for keeping this kit still available.
