Nice kit but it's 1/35 scale
I bought this kit elsewhere but am going to get another. The kit is actually a 1/35 & not 1/32 scale. It has really good detail and looks great finished. I left all the compartments removable. The instructions have a few parts omitted like the triangle sized pieces between the fuselage and wings at the very front. Stuff like that. The metal etch screw holes are so incredibly tiny that it was hard to bend them and apply even using a magnifying glass. Over all the kit is nice and challenging. I would also recommend being VERY careful with the decals. They are very thin and tear easily especially since many have to be applied over high spots and takes a while to conform
EXCEPTIONAL Nothing Else to Say
My first BORDER kit and returning back to planes. Love the 1/32 scale and the detailing is superb. Lots of details on guns, engine, etc but in the end covered them all up as I am moving to airbrush from hand paint. Super fine molded details, still to finish paint and decals to see how I like those over other companies. Can even make all the flaps actually move using rods and hinges, WOW what detail. Now I am hooked on Border aircraft.
