I was presented with this kit many years ago. Never managed to finish it. In particular, I could not figure out how to attach the resin interior to the vacuformed body. Then again, I am not a skilled modeler.

Also, I found that the interior was not accurate. The instrument panel does not resemble the pictures I found on the internet.

In my opinion, this is not a kit for beginners.

Very nice little kit of a not too common modelling subject. The injection moulded parts (struts and tubular landing gear stuff) imho are oversized. Since they are all simple and straight, I replaced them by Evergreen plastic rods. Other injection moulded parts are gas tanks and engine lay out and these are usable. The cockpit interior is fairly basic and detailing is up to the modeller. The cockpit bubble consists of two vacuformed halves that line up vertically in the middle of the cockpit. I am by no means an experienced multi media- modeller but I had relatively minor problems cutting, trimming and glueing these pieces into an acceptable cockpit.
