I had this model when it came out. Parents got it for me, because i was into alot of model building. One thing, if you look at thee wallpaper shot look at the grips on the handle bar, then look at the original box shot and look at the grips on the handle bar. the wallpaper shot grips are upside down. Somebody made a mistake. I used Olive Drab and lightened it up abit with a shade of gold on wings and legs. I should know i spent weeks putting this together. The end result was it looked just like the original box shot (sorry, wish my parents had a camera then to take a picture), the original box shot shows the tail too. I spent alot on my lawn mower money on paint trying to mixed the colors just right. It also comes with little black tubing (suppose to be spark plug wires) WARNING!!! be very careful to cut the piece of tubing just right for the length of the wire. hard to replace tubing that size. The original box came with a card in it to become a member of the Revell Model Builders Club and I joined, but when we moved i had to give the model to friend and never got anything from Revell for the paid membership. Back then I didn't know about change of address, i was still to young and we moved to a different country
