This is Monogram's A-37B Dragonfly, a small little attacker. The kit is very nice but I added the equally nice Reheat photo-etch detail set. This includes numerous cockpit details, antennae, FOD grills, jet exhaust shields and undercarriage details. I also elected to attempt rescribing the raised panel lines — my first attempt at an entire kit — but it's an attempt best forgotten. There is hardly any room for the necessary noseweight because the nosegear bay takes up all the room, so I used the kit-supplied clear tail stand. I used Humbrol enamels for the finish and overcoated with Klear and Humbrol Matt Cote — my first successful attempt at using a matt or satin clear varnish. The kit decals were okay, but a bit out of register. I modified the kit seats slightly to allow the seatbelts to pass through the headrests. All of the ordnance came in the box. This kit was built in the Summer of 1997.
