I haven't built the kit yet. But what i can say for sure is, this is the most detailed kit i have ever bought. No aftermarket is needed. Photo-etched parts and metal pitot are included. Even a very detailed ladder. There is a 56 pages instruction booklet, so take your time.
On the downside. No figures are included. At least a pilot figure would be great. No air to surface armament. There are some noticeable marks from the moulds on the inner surface of the intakes.
As usually, fast delivery and the kit arrived well protected.
