Good kit, Recommended but it has a few Gotchas to be aware of...
The kit builds up into a nice-looking model however there are some things to watch out for. First, the instructions are misleading as to the placement of the pilot's seat. If you follow the instructions, the seat will be too far forward, leaving a gap between cockpit rear wall and the back of the seat. The same issue applies to the location of the instrument panel. It is too far forward and results in it not being visible. Final issue pertains to the sliding wing assembly: it is too loose, with the gear teeth prone to disengaging. Once the fuselage upper and lower halves are joined, you cannot correct the wings should that happen. Additionally, the sliding wing assembly rattles and is loose fitting. I recommend adding something to fill the space in the wing box area to keep the sliding wing assembly snug but still movable. Overall however, a good kit that is worth building!
simple but nice
This plane is not perfict it is very good the cockpit has no detale but there in a pilot. The parts fit well and little sanding is needed. The inst sheet is good but paint guide only fair the wings can be made to move with some work. The landing gear can with work be in the up or down setting. The cockpit glass is in down setting only. There are good miss for the hardpoints. But only decals for russan plane. I had decals that let me show it in the czech a.f. a good plane for all.
