I have tried to build several of the old ACE, Eastern Express, Skif, Etc. kits in the past and gave up (weird plastic, poor instructions, low detail but high parts count). Lucky I have a very poor memory.


I originally was going to build the Trumpeter version I had laying around, but this old kit was going to be much easier!
This also was going to be for the Anti-Aircraft Campaign - until I realized I forgot to join. And it's over anyway so ...
I feel my logic might have been somewhat flawed here.


This is not what some may call a "fall together kit".
An interesting tendency of the printed instructions is to show how to install parts that are not included, but also not show how to install parts that are included. Interesting...
Also mounting holes may or may not be present, same w/ location tabs.
I spent an inordinate of time doing research for such a small & simple gun. And then I mostly guessed anyway.


Got to add a few more parts then off to mix a batch of my infamous "Soviet Chalky Green" and spray some of that cheap acrylic !
