Comments

Tim Sloan
Just started on this kit, and after looking at the decal options, comparing them to period photos, both options are inaccurate. The Skippy/Nemesis option is a P-61A early with the top turret (this kit doesnt have the turret) and the Jukin Judy is missing decals like the crew names and kill markings. also, appears that Jukin Judy was repainted , so ,while the name is accurate for the first version,its not for the second version,which had colored letters instead of all white letters.
