Tried to build one of these as a kid, total failure! Picked up the '96 re-issue a LONG time ago, started it, got frustrated and boxed it up. Pulled it out a while back, saw the Space Force logos and just had to finish it. Ended up using aftermarket decals, glad I did. The originals had brown carrier film, would have looked horrible. Not a real easy kit to get to look right, if anyone else is attempting it, I have some helpful tips if interested. Also have enough A/M decals left to do most of another if anyone is interested.

Thanks, Dave! Not a bad looking kit considering it was released in 1959!

I love seeing these old "future past" builds. Really cool work - especially given the age of the kit.
