The first American jet fighter, the Bell XP-59 Airacomet, first flew in October 1942 and the US Navy was amongst the air arms to test it. But these can be made without much difficult, so still recommended. The absence of tip-tank navigation lights, is a real oversight, and should have been provided in my view. The shallow intakes and wheel wells will not be seen from a foot away when viewed on the display shelf. If you want a fairly simple build that results in an eye-catching model of an interesting early jet then just build this kit virtually OOB. Rather basic intake and wheel well treatment. No tip-tank navigation-lights that should have been included as clear parts.
