This kit is an excellent beginning or experienced modeler's model. The ease of the instructions and the details of the parts are superb by any standard and this model can be built in what I like to call an afternoon. I had not seen kit in years as I have built several prior kits of the same model and with some mistakes due to my age at the time. I had no problems with the possible age of the dyes and all the parts fit. I followed one of the two paint schemes and for the accuracy found that the Luftwaffe loved to have razzle-dazzle camouflage for various reasons. I normally do not tackle German aircraft but I'm getting back into the swing of painting them with my Badger 200. I would highly recommend this model to anyone!
