You get what you pay, yes, this 5 bucks kit is for me worth what I paid for. Started 3 years ago, many times nearly binned but finaly finished today with pleasure. An old, zero detailed kit with just a few parts. Horrible fitting issues, especially the canopy. Nearly more putty than plastic but it was bought because I want a Fiat G.55 and a 48 kit for improvement my paint skill. First freehand camo with airbrush and I be pleased with the results. Guns in the wings was replaced with brass pipe. It is not impossible to get a model that looks like a G.55 but it takes a lot of time and work. I am not sure if I would buy this kit again, definitely not for building, but the final result for the few bucks is not bad.
