    A nice model - no fit problems, and absolutely no filler used. Lack of seatbelts was glaringly obvious, through the really clear canopy ( remedied with an Eduard Mosquito belt ). No mention of adding weight in the instructions - you need a LOT, to prevent tail sitting.
    The model has loads of detail, and despite it's 'easy assembly' tag is well worth a look - if you can find one! My efforts at fading & weathering the OD topsurfaces don't show up very well - oh well..............
    Thanks for dropping by
