forget the re-issue for a long time. at the first issue of the kit it was the biggest FLOP monogram got from a kit. I think that the new owner will not make the same mistake.
I agree it will be interesting to get some of these. but check evil bay. sometime you can get some for cheap cheap.\

Yeah- I remember Terry Jessee talking about this kit in Light Commercial in SAE years ago, and one of the other writers (not Terry) complaining about what a waste of effort and money this kit was on Monogram's part. Really... I don't see what's so terrible about it!

Heck yeah!! I would like to have one of these myself! Personally,I don't put much stock in reviewers. I have to hold it my hands to make my own conclusion. I've seen reviewers praise kits that I thought were pure junk. Seems a lot of them overlook accuracy and just comment on parts fitment and go gaga over decal sheets. This looks like a pretty good kit to me. Thanx for the photos Chuck.

Yeah... a peeve of mine, I think many reviewers are much, much to lenient with their reviews!
The only one of these I've ever actually seen built up is the one on the box cover, so I'll reserve my judgment until I've built it (my standard way of evaluating a kit), but as far as parts breakdown, engraving, and the like, this kit is easily on par with Monogram's other offerings of the period, even surpassing many others, from Monogram as well as other manufacturers.
