‘17976’ 9th SRW Beale AFB
There
is 43 parts to this kit and it is very nicely detailed. The biggest
problem I had with this kit was painting it. Matt
black over gloss black plastic is a bad idea. It was suggested I used an
undercoat which looks like it would have been a damn good idea. I used
around two coats of matt black to get a reasonable finish.

The
canopy made up of three pieces fitted nicely into place.
The wheels all fitted nicely together and I glued the nose wheel
first, let it dry by resting on it and then did the same with the main
gear.
