The Meng F18F was a fantastic build. Panel lines, sprues and pretty good detail made the final product turn out good. The fit / engineering was much better than other brands. The main fuselage/cockpit section does fit well with the back section but leaves a noticeable gap. The inlet construction is well engineered but was tricky for me to pull off based on the instruction order. My only other issue is with smaller decals not staying put long enough to dry and eventually clear coat. I’m certain that builders that have higher skill sets and better practices would make this kit phenomenal looking. I liked that it gave you the option of take off, parked or in flight positions. Just buy it. You will not be disappointed!
