Summary
Well that’s it done and I’m reasonably impressed. Whilst not perfect it’s still a quantum leap better than the old Matchbox kit and apart from the wing to fuselage join issue I had (this may well have been my fault) everything went together quite well and the intakes are especially worth a mention for their novel assembly process. There are obviously other variants in the pipeline judging by the parts in the kit and its break down so watch out for these.
Overall a nice kit at a reasonable price that builds into a very impressive model. Not a beginner kit but any modeller with some experience will have no issues with it – recommended.
