I
had seen these pre-finished J-Wings kits floating around on Ebay for some
time now, but I didn’t take the plunge until I found this gem at this
year’s IPMS New Orleans
show. After I got home I opened the kit and took a look at the contents.

The
wings are variable-position, and there were parts for a LANTERN
“Bombcat”, since
VF-84 never used the LANTERN, I binned those parts. I modified the
tailhook to be
in the extended position, and I robbed a stand from a diecast P-61.
It
only took me about an hour or so to finish this kit. I’m looking forward
to finding a few more of these little gems.
