Not built it myself but looks a very nice kit, certainly a great gift anyway, wish I was that luckyBigGrin

I was considering it once but the prices went a bit silly. I think it suffers from the usual Airfix sink problems and also the sprues being to thick at the cut points for the more delicate parts (a problem never seen on Tamiya kits)

There is a re-release of this in October which at least will stop the old kits being sold at way above their value.

Love to see your build thoughBigGrin
