I built this model right Out-of-the-Box. Some minor changes were made to this earlier version. The nose camera, triangle radar (4) around the radome, and vertical tail were also eliminated. The vent slots on the gun panel has to be filled in, and the vent slot on the base of the tail has to be enlarged. The little stubs at the wing tips gotta' go, also. Other than that, I left them as it, including all of the raised panel lines.

Decals for "Pussy Galore" was from Albatros decals. The only disappointment on this sheet was the discoloration of the nude when applied setting solution to it. It was a little richer in the skin color, and now it's kind of yellowish. The decal setting solution I was using was "Solvaset" by Hobsco. I notice this same discoloring effect was on the ChippyHo decals sheet from the Monogram kit, so perhaps this problem is more related to the "Solvaset" rather than the decals. So far I've never had this kind of adverse effect from using this solution, but...We never know what sort of brown ink on any particular sheet would react to this solution. Just trial and error, I guess. Yeah, the light brown color would turn into yellow once the solution applied to it.

Not much to say about this kit, but I really enjoyed building it.
