F#¤%"#k me! I was close to loosing my fingertips from all the glue. Had flashbacks to when I was a kid trying to do a stuka and had more glue in my hair than on the model. The thing that saved it was http://www.dersockelshop.de/glue-colors ... ement-/-2g otherwise it had been in the trash. I read, read and read some more about pe but still.... need the experience with pe and we all have to start somewhere. But still screaming and waking up the gf was not so popular.... almost cost me my gf :lol:

I bought this recently, it looks to be a nice kit which will go together quickly. There is no interior to worry about so it will be a simple glue it and paint it job. There is a small bit of photoetch for the grilles and exhaust cover but that is really minor stuff. The good bit is it can be found at cheap prices on ebay or from value kits.
