Review Summary

The 1/48 scale kit is the only one of its kind still in production, with alternatives being either out of production or significantly more expensive. Reviewers generally find the kit easy to build with clear instructions, though some note minor fit issues, particularly with fuselage assembly, and the need to add weight to the nose for balance. While it is well-produced with accurate major details and good decals, a few mention assembly challenges for beginners and minor detail inaccuracies.

1/48 YF-23A

By: mooniemac2000

The only 1/48 YF-23A kit still in production. The other one was a resin kit that cost 200 bucks. It is out of production. There is a desktop 1/48 YF-23, but it costs 120-200 bucks.

Great for people looking to get back into model kits

By: gabrielmahaffey

Purchased this kit from my local hobby store. This kit was the first model that I purchased in over 10 years. Overall the kit was fairly easy to build. The only fit issues I had was the two fuselage halves (which sandwich together). Instructions were easy to follow. The instructions call for a weight that fits into the nose of the aircraft. If you don't get one you will have the nose point upward and the back of the model touching the surface.
