- A lot!
My first model using an extensive resin detail set. The Aires set is really nice and provides a lot of details, though sometimes the instructions are not the easiest to follow and there is a lot of work to make certain parts fit (the detail set is definitely not drop in and done). The Wolfpack wing fold kit was really easy to use and the decals went on smoothly.
Word of warning - despite being a really excellent kit with great fit, you can't model it with the canopy open very easily. It just doesn't fit right, and I found one build log where the modeler cracked it trying to get it into position. I was lucky that the kit I bought second hand included the aftermarket canopy.
