Beautifully crafted

This kit is very typical of Academy quality and value for money. There was no overflash and the parts come of the sprues cleanly. The build is logical and goes smoothly as all the parts fit together nicely. The choice to build 1 of 4 different variants of this versatile plane is an added bonus. Which ever 1 you choose you can't go wrong and you will be very pleased with the resultant highly detailed representation of the P-38.
