Completed yesterday. I purchsed the kit (built/unpainted--no decals etc..) in a collection purchase from a local classified.
It sat for a year or more in the, "Is it worth dealing with?" box. Anyway, since for completetion it was just a matter of simple paint scheme and decaling from the parts bin....
Not exact for sure....and of course, the fin decals have yet to be added (if ever), but for now it shows nice enough.
Stars/bar decals......Old stock
Red stripe/ring....Pactra fine line tape.
"USAF".....self stick vinyl decals.....$0.99 at Target

Nice paint job and pic - looks good with the lights in the back!
Not sure of the exact time frame for construction, but this clone pre-dates our move to the current house in 2005. Decals by Excelsior.
Great find
