This is a pretty good helicopter, on both the quality level and price level. It's hard to find a model this size for this low of a price. This kit is very similar to the Mk. 88 version that Revell has also put out in that it builds pretty much the same way just has some different parts to fit this version. The instructions were pretty easy to follow as most Revell kits are and there was very little flash on the parts. This kit pretty much built itself and from start to finish was able to be completed in about a week. Everything was pretty standard until it came to the decals. Make sure to pay attention to the instructions when painting and decaling the helicopter as the decals are transparent minus the cat. I highly recommend this kit to anyone because the price of it alone makes it a great deal. There isn't too much lost of this is your first helicopter to try, or you want to try new techniques. If you buy this kit, I would highly recommend you buy yourself some Micro Sol and Micro Set though as both come in very handy when putting those decals on.
