My Manta Bomber is ready for flight, final weight minus engine is 1.73oz. Model has been built with the same techniques I would have used back in the 1980s. White glue for the build, balsa sealer and Glossy White paint only no primer or fillers. I am always amazed how well these old vintage decals perform, this kit is 35 years old. I can honestly say these old decals work better than the newer decals and I don't use any decal solutions. The Jt-80 ring decal is one long wrap on decal and it went on great. Not bad for a 3 day build.
