Summary
This has been an eagerly awaited kit for some time now and the wait has definitely been worth it. There are some issues with the kit, the main ones being the red plastic and those ejector seats but for under £20 you can’t really complain. I’m sure later releases will be in a far more palatable grey plastic and I’m also sure resin seats or for that matter whole cockpits will be available in the very near future.
As an out of the box build though this is a really nice kit that has no real vices and can be easily made by the novice modeller but is also a great starting point for those who want to do more to it. I have got to highly recommended it even in this red plastic guise and I will be building another but I will wait for the resin cockpit before I do my next one.
Plus points:
- Great subject and a nice size
- Really good value
- Excellent decals
- Good overall detail and fit
Points to watch out for:
- Red plastic
- Ejector seat detail and those decal straps
- Miss moulded front undercarriage strut.
