Skills Required...
Upon purchase of this kit I wanted a certain level of difficulty and challenge or something other than the more popular kits out there. However, in this kit all parts had lots of flashing and manufacture defects. Lots of sanding, scraping, cutting and dry fitting was required to achieve the desired outcome. The instructions were somewhat difficult, whereas you had to look at real photos of the aircraft to determine where some parts went. Interpretation and embellishment required. 20 grams of weight is recommended for the the model to sit down. I had to use much more weight than that and it would not all fit in the nosecone. I used a window masking kit which I highly recommend. Putty/filler was needed in a few spots. The decals are horrible. I planned to use aftermarket decals anyway to change the livery. I would recommend this model but much skill and planning is needed to complete. I enjoyed the construction thoroughly.
