This little kit stayed on the shelf for quite a long time. It helped me get my mojo back though. I enjoyed the build even though the finished product turned out to be anti climactic. The reason was that you need so much nose weight. I put in alot and still it sat dead on its tail. I made some surgical adjustments to try to remedy the situation, but no results. I skipped the fuel tanks cause they were a bad fit, and I didnt want to waste time trying to make them look good. Now I wish Ive put them on and filled them with weight! Cause now, im left with incorrect nose gear. Anyway, here is the conclusion along with the pictures. The mode is superglued to the base.

WIP

+ Overall good fit
+ Nice surface details
+ Good cockpit details
+ Good marking options

- Some parts had horrible fit (Booms, fuel tanks)
- Nose weight, instructions doesnt mention it, but you need alot!
