Superb detail in the cockpit, wheel bays and nose avionics compartment is complemented by very fine surface detail through-out. The twin-booms are surprisingly easy to align, and the biggest challenge (aside from finding room for nose weights!) is scratch-building the vertical bars in the jet intakes using the plans provided. Care must also be taken aligning the top and bottom fuselage halves around the nose. Having said this, the kit was only my second resin build, so really it’s quite straightforward. A choice of five very attractive and colourful schemes can be completed using the excellent decals provided.
