@Moreno, the quality of the kit is a little bit surprising, it means some parts are very fine, very well molded and others looks like if they were unmolded to early...
There is no details inside only seats and sticks. Adjustments are good, be careful with the instructions it seems that the guy in charge of it had a better 3D view then the kit itself and some parts look different on the manual than in real.
For the moment it's a not too bad kit, I start the painting and I will have a look on decals after.

@Sébastien, many thanks! I have some other kits made by the same producer, and I also have your impression.
Be careful about decals, sometimes some are missing or are incomplete...

So the decals were horrible, so "crispy" that they disintegrate before to be transferred on the plane... I was just able to put the n°11 on the engine hood...
I will need to find a solution or to do freehand the registration numbers on the side and the wing.

The IBG kits include just infinitely better quality decals... and are not expensive... maybe it is a better solution? E.g.:RWD-8 DWL (IBG Models 72502, 1:72)

@Robert, thank you for this info. I think I will try to buy this kit and mix the decals.

I could scan the decals for you as well, if you wish (I have this very kit in my stash, actually).
