This thoroughly well researched kit has an almost unrivalled combination of pin-hole free resin, pre-painted photo-etch details, pre-cut paper canopy masks, plus two canopies. The comprehensive instructions include a photo-walk around and very complete decal sheets for a piston engined fighter in this scale.

At first the kit appears quite complex due to the number of pieces, multiple parts and markings choices (your spares box will over-flow with useful extras). However, it builds in a straightforward manner despite appearances. It’s a simple matter to separate parts from their very fine casting blocks, and the fit of parts is excellent. Recommended!
