One of the most iconic aircraft ever built, the Blackbird is both striking and mysterious at the same time. Owning a model of the Blackbird has to be on the top of any aircraft modeller’s list.
I got mine, after waiting for so long. The SR-71A Blackbird in 1/72 scale, again from Hasegawa, who in my opinion makes the best in model aircraft kits. I should have know though that this is no new kit – in fact it’s probably a reissue of the same model kit that has been around for ages. I know this because of the raised panel lines, which makes it all the more difficult for a beginner like me to work with it.
It does have some recessed panel lines, so I guess this kit is not that old after all, but most of them are raised lines. However, the entire fuselage and wing is in only two separate pieces, so it’s really easy to put this model together. Painting is easy too – just use flat black all over.
