So far a few issues.

No part numbers on sprues, so need to use sprue maps.
Need to cut fuselage halves for the rear canopy for the kit version.
Also had to cut the landing gear openings in the wing spar.
No option or landing gear up.
Very poor locating pins. Some are too big to fit.
Plastic very thin, flexible and shiny. Will be interesting to see how paint lays down.

All this and I am still on the cockpit build. This does not feel like a Revell tooling.

No, it ain't. It is a ICM kit. I build the Lufthansa version and I am anxious how you fare.
