I notice they used the same "Flight Test Orange" markings that were used on the original F-15 prototypes.  I rather hope Hasegawa decides to offer kits of this aircraft.

Hasegawa may do this, but you'll have to buy a few seperate weapon sets to load it out and some crewies :o :o

Quite odd/interesting that the weapons load is somewhat asymmetrical.

Viking Air Limited @vikingairltd
On April 9, 1964 the DHC-5 Buffalo had its first flight. Initially offered at $1.55M, its amazing performance capabilities made it ideal for tactical airlift operations. A total of 121 aircraft were built, and many remain in active service for cargo, SAR, and humanitarian relief.

By the way Viking now owns the type certificate for the Buffalo. Maybe one day they will re-open the production line.
