That would be great!

I built that Thunderbolt when I was young but only a couple of pieces survived.

Here are a couple of mine from the "unbuilt" section. These were bought at an antique store some years ago along with a number of other older kits. The boxes of these look even older than the kits really are!

Until you open the box and look inside! The kit is a VERY basic thing but the outline is accurate. Mine is missing the canopy so I'll use one from the spares box when I build this.

Inpact and Pyro both produced this kit but I don't know which was first. Now Lindberg has the molds as I understand it. The kit looks really quite nice for fifty or more years old!

Lindberg also had 1/48 kits of the Fairey Flycatcher, Gloster Gauntlet and Hawker Fury biplane!
I still use the old Flycatcher box for my spare parts.....
Assume these are all old Inpact kits!
