It's not a kit which gives stunning detail, but it does have nice engraved panel lines and rivets, and the parts fit is not too disappointing. It mostly does what is says, and looks just like the photos say. Decals are by Fightertown, and go down real well, with good register.
Care above and beyond the usual to be taken when assembling the engine nacelles or you can end up with irritating gaps. The nose gear door needs its mounting bracket attaching first to ensure easy fitting to the gear leg, contrary to the instructions. Speaking of which....THEY ARE QUITE HARD to read, swapping as they do from UPPER CASE to lower case and back AGAIN. Test fitting more important than ever here then.
I'll be finishing the model soon, but already I think it will look pretty impressive. On the basis of size alone, it's quite a show-off. Just test-fitting it meant I had to stand in the hall.
So crime averted. Photos to follow. Next up for some caped crusading - the Hawker Tornado.
