The kit comes in a very well illustrated sturdy box. Each sprue is housed in a separate plastic bag, the decals are also in its own bag. The instructions are clearly described with easy to follow steps and good diagrams, there is a rigging diagram as well and two pages dedicated to painting and decal instruction. The two marking schemes supplied with the kit are Capt. A.R. Brown, No.209 Squadron, RAF, May 1918 and No.43 Squadron, RAF, mid 1918.
The plastic is a mid grey colour and moulded detail is very neat and crisp, there is very little flash but there are a lot of ejector pin marks, 16 on the inside of each fuselage half and in very inappropriate places. The otherwise reasonable wicker seat has been ruined by the ejector marks, it is a shame that a little more thought is not used to move the position of some of these marks. The wings have over exaggerated wing ribs, these will require sanding down. The engine looks okay, detail appears to be pretty good but work will be needed to make it look more authentic. The decals look fine, they are very thin and the colour is good, there are no decals for the instruments. The kit comes with a roll of black rigging twine, not at all suitable for this scale of model. First impression is not a bad looking kit, once I get into the build any misgivings will show up fairly quickly. This is a very inexpensive kit, only $17, so for anyone who wants to get a start in 1:32 scale WW1 aircraft models this is a cost effective way.
