The fit is truly horrible 😮)
I HAD to turn it into a BMK because the the lower wings for the BKL version (bulged landing gear bays) were misaligned at the landing gear bay by as much as 3 millimeters.
The holes for the tail wings were misaligned, the rudder is too shallow, the gaps between the main wings and the fuselage were too big, the airbrakes are too small for their recesses (even noticeable if you install them deployed), the closed canopy does not fit the fuselage and the engine parts are too wide for the fuselage.
Despite all that I really like the kit and am seriously thinking about building a BKL when this one is done ....
Funny also is that when you read reviews of this kit (Revell / Eduard / OEZ / Kopro all contain the same plastic) different people seem to have different problems !

If you want to build this one try and get the Eduard boxing because it contains a lot of etch and resin to fix the most glaring shortcomings. if you can´t get that anymore the Eduard exterior set is indispensable.
If you want to leave the canopy open the interior set is helpful as well.
