Difficult to buy (eventually got one from Germany) and frankly a disappointment to build. Got one decent version and one very mediocre. Some very fiddly small parts especially in the engine and wheel bays, internal bracing spar for wings badly fitting, engine parts instructions not explicit with few locating points. Do not fit engine as directed but build into one fuselage side otherwise v. difficult to get good fit. Fuselage join and wing mating needed lot of fiddling and putty. On plus side good decals and colour instructions. Bought to fill gap left by Covid, frustrating and disappointing.

It is good that someone has time to build models. It is experience and opportunity to learn even if the model is not good as expected. AJ.

Tony, how does this kit compare to HobbyBoss' D-13 kit?

Can't say as I haven't built the Hobby Boss

@Tony: Agree on all points. I built this last year with some extra goodies (detail kit, flaps, etc) and it was an exceedingly frustrating experience. I will say, however, that the result looks decent after all the work.
