Once again, I purchased this kit already started (~50% complete) and thought to cut it down into either a KC-767 (Japan & Italy) or and E-767 AWACS (Japan). I had the spare AN/APY-1 radome from the Revell E-3A AWACS kit (built as 720B) and found enough JASDF decals in the spares bin for most of the markings. The project hung in limbo for 10-12 years, when recently, CTA released a E-767 conversion, which I will use, as the resin is better and more accurate than Revell's dome and the decals are complete and excellent. I will also add FotoCut antennae, drain masts and engine fences.
