This kit has been
around for over ten years and it is now more popular than ever as great farewell
schemes have been released in decals both with the kit and by aftermarket
industry. This particular boxing is one of these, featuring two complete kits
with the markings of the two most remarkable farewell schemes displayed by
Austrian Drakens.

The kit is as simple as the jet it
represents, with very crisp recessed lines and nice surface details. It is very
good dimensionally, as shown in thew pictures comparing the main fuselage halves
with scale drawings. It suffers two major defaults though, namely the engine
exhaust and the cockpit. Both are grossly simplified and will gain immensely to
be replaced by scrach-built or aftermarket parts.
To conclude this review I would
say this is is a very good kit, with some room for improvement but a great basis
to start with and very exciting markings!
I would like to say a BIG thanks
to Derek Moss for giving me this (these!) kit(s) at the last ARC Christmas
raffle, and to Breadboard for organizing this fantastic event :)
