There are three things I can't stress enough to anyone that wants to build this kit. First, dry fitting is essential! The kit's engineering doesn't seem problematic at first, but it will be a huge challenge. In fact, I actually wish I had built it up quickly using Elmer's or other water soluble glue before I cleaned up or painted any parts, so I could understand how everything would fit together. Only after I understood how everything fits together would I then drop it in water to dissolve the glue and then clean up/paint parts and start building it properly. Second, some parts will need a LOT of work to clean up properly, and it won't be easy either. There's flash, molds that weren't lined up properly, warped body parts, sink marks, thick clear parts, and horrible sprue joins. Lastly (and related to dry fitting), it is incredibly difficult to use the kit's pilot because you have to glue his arms into place long before you'll know whether they actually line up with the controls - you basically have to glue the fuselage together in order to find out whether arms and yoke line up.

Also beware that the kit's engineering makes very difficult to address the seam lines in the cockpit ceiling and the back wall.

I would sugest a litle weathering on the numbers and crosses 🤔

Cheers Rui, I'll take a look 👍
