Rigging
A full rigging diagram is provided and shows aerofoil rigging and wire in the appropriate positions. Rigging is not provided and I am not sure how I will handle this yet. Once again watch the Build Now space and find out!
Decals
Decals are magnificent, high gloss in register and include instrument faces. After market boys need not apply in this case!
The Parts
I’ve taken shots of a sample selection of sprues and all are amazing just look at the details on the machine guns and the seat. Panel lines and fabric effect is in scale and I can’t wait to really go to town on the engine for which the covers are separate.
There’s a fret of photo-etch brass too that will help provide some good refinement to the cockpit and guns.
Accuracy and Fit
It all looks spot-on to me and sure looks like the real thing. A dry fit of the fuselage bodes well as it’s flawless.
Conclusion
I am genuinely excited by this kit and the prospect of building it. My OED definition at the start covers it because this is probably the best piece of plastic modelling I have ever seen. I haven’t used a lot of words in this review because I can’t find them to describe a magnificent kit. I only hope that I can do it justice – I will certainly try! I cannot recommend this kit highly enough. Les V. Back
