GOod luck with this. Just take care as Sword kits are limited run and can sometimes have some iffy fit in places. If you haven't already, I would look online for a build guide, as it may help you avoid some pitfalls.

I am in the process (stalled process mind!) of building one of the Sword two-seat Harriers and there are some big fit issues on that kit, but I was aware of them which has helped them not be as much of an issue.
