Title: 40 years Annyversary
Post by: No.1 on October 15, 2014, 11:29:33 AM

Dear friends,

this month is my 40 years of how I buy and build first kit. That was long time ago and the kit was SAAB Draken from VEB. This East Germany company is for a long time out of work and with some effort I managed to get sample kit I need. That was great to get the same box art as I have, this kit come in few versions.

Plastic is a bit strange and in box was not two metal tubes with cement and silver paint. It work somehow with standard cement but most of glue work I did with super glue.

Will to continue...

Excellent!

But for what concerns Alclad, personnally I prefer rub n buff; no odors...
