Kit 5096 with the awesome decal sheet!
The box art with that lovely smile. It is exciting and the advertising on the rest of the sides cover the features and mention a canopy that can be posed open.
Sprue A, front and back. This sprue, you only get one, is the same in both kits. Note the nicely detailed and deep main wheel wells.
Sprue B, front and back. Only one is included. The tail booms and wings are here with evidence of slide molding. All other details are found here as well including an engine which can be seen through an open panel at the top of the fuselage.
Sprue C, front and back. Only one is included. Slide molding is used to open air scoops and a separate set of closed gear doors are included for in flight models.
The one piece very clear canopy. It is not very thin but it should be obvious that it is not intended to be modeled open without some surgery to the part to separate the canopy from the windscreen. It does have a nice bulbous shape.
Markings for two aircraft are included with one from the Suez Crisis (yellow and black striping) and the second with the sharkmouth. Decals for the instrument panel are included.
A small fret of photo-etched brass wing fences is included.
The instructions are simple but omit the optional in flight parts. No mention is made of the positionable canopy as per the box advertising.
Regards.
