Looks like a very modeller-friendly kit, BTW.

Looks like a lot of fun. 🙂
I have this kit in my suuuuper long list, no joke, endless length of entries in my bookmark folder for this stuff. 😄

Also, looks like a fun project to play around with self adhesive 'bare metal foil'.

Tip: I would spend a little extra time, making sure the thin edges around the wings aren't unnaturally thick, like with most kits that leave a 1mm thick edge. I guess modern planes are more likely to have thinner edges, while older planes have thicker edges because of using wood I guess.

I normally thin the trailing edges to a.mote appropriate thickness when the parts are top and bottom pieces. The wings are one piece on this kit so difficult to thin them without losing detail. I'll leave them as they are as I've got some good momentum with it.
