Tempting, but the same markings for 601 are in the AModel Metal Moth kit. So the kit has alternative parts for the 60M? Now I AM iterested as the two AModel kitsI've got are the Genet Moth and the 'M' Metal Moth and I think I'd rather build this old kit than face another of these 'difficult' Russian kits...

It didnt any alternative parts steve , is it the extended exhaust youre thinking ?

Amodel is a Ukrainian company Steve.

Amodel is a Ukrainian company Steve.

Well, I did not know that. Every other Ukrainian model company I've experienced have been pretty damn good
Slava Ukrana!
Nothing wrong with the detail or subject matter of AModel stuff, I praise them like I should, but construction leaves a lot to be desired. Have they never heard of locating pins!?

Tony a beautiful build you can do a lot with these old kits with some effort like you have displayed. I’ve never heard of this story and thanks for sharing. Your aircraft is beautiful.

Looking at what you started with and what you've ended up with is truly amazing. Most definitely a silk purse from a sow's ear. Top modelling.

Missed the finale on this one Tony. You certainly took something very basic and really improved it with your mods. Great job.
