Hola
amigos!
Here
are some pictures of my just finished Thunderbolts from Academy, in 1/72
scale. What can I say... they are amazing! Apart from two or three small
things we should correct easily, the kit from Academy is a great value for the
pocket. One of the two Jugs cost me online just 3.85 US Dollars!

They
were very easy to build. I used simple technics to finish them and they
look just fantastic. The general level of detail is very good for such a
small scale and low price. You can follow the step by step construction
and more pics on my small homemade website www.webmodelismo.com
(in Spanish but with hundreds of step by step pictures!)
I
used just some paper to build the seat belts... the rest came in the box of
Academy (including the decals). I can not even imagine how could they look if
you add some after market parts!
I
will build more of these beautiful Jugs in the next months. Revell and Tamiya
have the best Jugs in this scale but Academy represents a great value for our
pockets (it is cheaper and good). If you are thinking for instance of building
four or five Jugs at the same time to make use of all markings from a Decal
Sheet go for the Academy kit!!
