Some sprues are incorrectly labelled. Part numbers not on sprues so need to keep referring to sprue layout in instructions. Mating surfaces for major parts are awful. Lots of filler is going to be required for seam gaps. Main body assembly will need careful alignment to clamp and copius amouts of thicker glue to ensure all joints are welded sufficiently. This will test your patience.

How doe sit compare to the anigrand 1/144? Is it worth the trouble?

It is not suited for kids, you need to have some experience with short run kits before trying this one. It is well detailed and huge size, also looks more true than Anigrand version, so if you like experimental aircraft this is a must. We barely will see GWH or Tamiya making this subject so you can only hope for Trumpoboss (1/72) or potentially Zvezda or Takom (1/144 due to size) but the chances are low as little number of people will prefer ekranoplanes to another Mustang or FW190.

Well I have all of them in 1/144 so I'll stick with that one. But maybe I'll check it out. How is it more accurate?

Panel lines, hatches, thrust divertors behind front engines, cabin interior etc.

I will try to post progress pics in a project. It is stalled at the moment as i really need to use sprue goo as the amount of dust from the filler is a joke now
