I finished it in April of '94, so specifics are a
bit hazy. I started with the ESCI Kfir kit, which may have represented a
prototype -- there were LOTS of detail differences between it and F-21s.
The decals came from Mirage sheets, the Kfir logo from a Testors 1/72nd F-21, I
think, the VF-43 badge from a Microscale A-4 sheet, and all those red and white
stripes from solid decal stock. I DO remember the stripes, and how I
wondered if they would ever end.

I also remember I had every
intention of making this the subuject of a FSM article. This was in the
days they used B/W photos, and my processing lab (not sharp on their black &
white procedure, I assume?) botched one of the two rolls of in-progress shots
I'd taken -- leaving me with not enough pictures to do a decent piece. I
was not about to repeat building one of these just for some photos.
