Dimitris Veletas I received this model kit lately. The kit is much much better than Testors and more sturby and better plastic quality.
i was very impressed with the instruction manual that have inside, is very detailed, colorful and quite big.
the details of the panels are quite deep for the scale. it will fit at 1/48 and not for 1/72 scale.
That was the only disappointing thing.
i would suggest to purchase 2 resin sets for the cockpit and is will be nice from eduard kit to use the front landing gear detailed set to make it more realistic.
A dry fit with the main structure main fuselage and wings a small gap was between them. You can put a 0,03 plastic sheet before you glue and it will be perfect.
Modelcollect kit is quite better than testors but need attention to improve it yourself.
it depends who much details you would like to add at the model kit.
Sam R. To fix the panel lines, Nigel's Modelling Bench on YouTube did some videos on this kit. He filled the panel lines with Mr.Surfacer and then used alcohol to rub away the excess. If you get the Big Ed he also did a video on fitting some of the parts in front of the intakes and making it look better. Definitely worth the watch

Santosh G I had a look on their website and there is a good deal going on for pre-orders... $50USD for the kit. then it goes up to $150USD..
I am not getting it cause I still have to make the Testors version I have from the 90s!

Santosh G You would be right seeing as the Testors one is over 25 years old

Santosh G The Details on the Modelcollect version is great but still too much for me.. I am not an expert builder so will stick with my Testors B2
