A quick look inside the box, as you can see below, some parts are molded in light blue resin, whilst others are provided as grey 3D prints:

Assembling the kit is quite a delicate operation.
First, I assembled the various parts to get an overview of the main fitting issue...
The fit of the parts leaves a lot to be desired, they are vague, imprecise and require adjustment, alignment and trimming ... I have a long and complex "fitting and sanding" job ahead of me.

Cool project, but the parts look a terrible fit.
My prayers are with you

What a goofy looking plane, very cool!

It is a kit that really puts my patience to the test ...
The landing gear broke off and and when I removed the masking, the primer came off...
