Great kit

By: James E

This kit was a pleasure to build. All of the parts fit very well and the level of detail is very good. I had purchased a resin accessory kit for this model, but did not end up using it. It is a fine addition to my collection and a great representation of this very unique aircraft.

Quite a nice aircraft to build.

By: fbbrown (Fort Mohave, Arizona)

This was a fun build for me and I would recommend getting this. Only problem you may encounter is the upper fuselage two plates that need to go on separately on the upper cockpit area. I had to re-glue once as it was coming apart a bit. I wanted to make it a better fit. It all went together very nicely and a good mold from the maker. Nice kit!!

Good kit with nice details.

By: davezz4 (Schaumburg, IL)

This is a good kit with some very nice details. The only negative is the fit just forward of the cockpit was slightly off. It was easy to correct. The decals were a little thick but worked well.
