Review Summary

The kit generally offers a decent build experience but comes with notable inaccuracies in shape, particularly around the radome and landing gear stations, while the engines are consistently praised for their accuracy. Fit issues are common, especially with the fuselage sections, requiring additional work or aftermarket parts like detail kits for the nose and cockpit to achieve precision. Overall, it's considered an okay kit that demands effort and skill to address gaps and minor decal distortions.

Nice kit but requires work to be accurate.

By: davezz4 (Schaumburg, IL)

The kit is nice but has some issues. Generally the fit is good except for the fuselage around the cockpit and nose. Suggest getting the Eduard nose, engines, and cockpit detail kit to make the details accurate. Instructions are good. decals are OK. They are slightly distorted on the small wordings. The missiles (AA-10D, A11, and A8) are pretty good. Overall a good kit.

This kit can be good with some hard work as it has several shape inaccuracies, such as the radome. The landing gear stations and stuff is also inaccurate. The engines are pretty accurate, which is a plus. The wings fit generally good. Overall an OK kit.
