Sorry, meant how is the quality?

Mike, this reminds me of a Fujimi or similar quality kit. Good but not as great as some of the newer molds that have been tooled lately. I believe Wolfpack might have reboxed this kit from some other manufacturer, but I don't know this for sure. It's better than average IMO.

Above is a link to a FineScale Modeler review of this Buckeye kit. No mention of whether it’s a rebox, so I guess it’s safe to assume it’s Wolfpacks own mold but we know what they say about assumptions.

 

ps

I picked up the paint I needed to start this build. Will finish the pair of Fuji Trainers first.

Craig, the Navy/Coast Guard have four different colors of red they used on their Training/Rescue craft... when I was doing my research for my Coast Guard Dolphin, I found that there were two that were prevalently used during that period...

 

I found them at True North Paints... Gloss Coast Guard Red #40 and Florescent Red/Orange.. I found the Fluorescent Red/Orange to be too orangy in color but will work well for my Kaman Huskie when I get around to her...

 

It was definitely an orangish red for the navy, much more red than orangish

Thanks. I’ll probably mix my own from Mr Color red and florescent orange

As is almost always the case with aircraft models, construction begins with the cockpit. Wolfpack did a nice job with the ejection seats in 1:72 scale, giving them a ton more detail than I had with the last project, the Japanese Fuji jet trainer kits. The seats consisted of four parts each and should pop after painting and detailing. The cockpit tub has raised details z as is the kit supplies decals for the consoles and side panels. They even provide decals for the seats, Decals are by Cartograf. Good quality.
