This kit has the potential to be a great kit. The box is full of plastic, multiple photo etch frets, and misc. hoses and wires. A majority of the parts needed to be cleaned, and the ejection pin marks always found themselves in the most inconvenient places. This is not of the same Trumpeter quality as of late. There is plenty of aftermarket parts that can really set this model apart from others. I would not recommend this for the beginner.

Really enjoyed building this kit, Very detailed and intricate parts.Great Photo etch parts included.
