Album info

I originally planned to use Smer's kit No.156 (Heller mold) in my stash. The kit quality is very nice for its day, but the raised panel lines just did not go with the amount of detailing I was planning. In the event, I went with the Revell kit as my cursory snooping suggested it to be superior to the Hasegawa release.

The kit went together very well. My copy had a casting defect on a wing, but overall it was a pleasure to build. CMK sets were very good also, although some warping was present on the control surfaces. Squadron canopies were ok. Eduard PE set was good, although I did not use most of the cockpit parts and a good portion was for the radar equipment not pertinent to CS-92. Kora decals were acceptable, but the resin wheels it came with were worthless (went with the kit's wheels). I used the national insignia from the Tally-Ho decal set, as Kora's were, per my sources, undersized.
